I started writing on a regular basis around 2000 onward. However, the first draft of my first major book had been done some more than 10 years before that. My writings have rarely been the result of any deliberate attempt to become a writer. To become a writer had never been my aim. Most of my writings are the result of some inexorable urge that develops inside me to put into writing insights that would otherwise vanish from this world. What spurred my writings was a number of insights that seems to have entered into my mind, right from my childhood. All these insights had the foundation on my observation that human languages are very powerful software applications with various capabilities. Penname and logo words My penname, I understand, borders on some kind of idiosyncrasy. The fact that I use Capital letters in my penname also has had its problems. Then there is the sort of logo words I use: It is foretold! The torrential flow of inexorable destiny! It does have the taste of some kind of uncanny unworldly claims. However, it is actually a small item. Some twenty years back, I had a meeting with a medium. He had the habit of listening to some voice that would tell him things. He listened to the voice and told me that I was an author. This happened at a time when writing had not yet begun as a passionate activity in me. As years went by, I became quite impressed by the accuracy of what the voice had mentioned. The voice did mention some other things also. I need not divulge them here, as of now. A technical phrase and the enwrapping cloak of silence I did come out with a verbal usage, ‘feudal languages’, to categorise certain languages that were totally different from pristine-English. This idea moved on to various observations which did provoke some kind of attempts to block my words without igniting any kind of controversy. In fact, in various locations, including that of national political leadership, self-appointed cultural leaders and also in the IT world this revelation on my part was noted as some kind of insidious divulging of extremely secret national information. To put it in very few words, I was blocked on Facebook, Twitter, Quora and so many other online locations. Beyond that none of the search engines, including Google Search, do bring any visitor to VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS’ website, where all my writings have been placed. Blocked on Facebook many years ago! A sample of the blocks Twitter did unblock my account after the second round of unblocking initiated by Elon Musk. But my posts get only few views. 1 to 10 or so. My videos on Youtube also received very few views. Many years ago, Youtube gave a warning that my account would be closed. However, it did not happen. Paid promotion of my book blocked on Quora! : Software codes of mantra! On Wikipedia On Wikipedia, I was subjected to a continual series of sharp words and unilateral actions, till I had to give back what I received in a similar tone. Generally I do not go in for any kind of verbal contest with low-class persons. Wikipedia blocked my account. One of the major attacks upon me in Wikipedia was that I had noted that the unilateral use of the word ‘Terrorist’ upon the Tamil freedom fighter side in Sri Lanka on the relevant Wikipedia page, as wrong. From a retrospective inspection, it will be amply clear that the Sri Lankan forces were inhuman barbarians. If history is taken a bit more decades back, it will be seen that the Tamils and the Sinhalese who had both enjoyed a subordination to the English rule had been left to fight it out among themselves by the insane rascal Clement Atlee. What could be promoting the blocks? Now, what is promoting all these blocks? I do not indulge in any personal attacks or use profane words. The reader can, if he or she wishes, go through the list of my writings. The grand secret that gives the jitters to the grand personages can be seen. So many persons write so many things online. No one cares. However, in the case of my writings, the issue is that the items are things that have been very carefully avoided in all academic discussions. And when they get mentioned, the logic is of unassailable stamina. That is the issue. There is nothing personal in these things. There is a global mutually unconnected, perhaps, conspiracy to see that certain information do not come out into the open. Especially in native-English nations. When I filed a Writ petition against the compulsory teaching of Malayalam (2011) in Kerala schools in Kerala High Court, due to the fact that the local vernaculars are terribly feudal, a direction was received by all the newmedia in Kerala. It asked them not to utter a single mention about this Writ petition. The direction had been sent by the selfappointed Cultural leaders of Kerala. I am not able to use many of the online digital promotion methods. For, all of them simply waste my time and money by cunning pre-set methods. On Archive, where I had placed all my books, many of my books had been marked as : Content may be inappropriate. Moreover, my books are placed in 1. Fringe 2. Deemphasized Collections. Generally search engines do not find my books on Archive. Nor does any general search on Archive find these books among others. Also some of my popular books are kept in a 'You need to log in' restriction to download the file. Check this link. The Kamasutra book can be seen on Google Play. Google books acted much more powerfully by removing most online search links to my books in there one fine morning. The monthly visits fell from around 16000 to less than 200. Affiliate marketing companies close down my account or remove access to it unilaterally. See this block enforced due to my book Shrouded Satanism in feudal languages. The fact is that the items mentioned in this book have all be discussed my local vernacular writings ദക്ഷിണേഷ്യൻ ഉപഭൂഖണ്ഡ ചരിത്രം Many of the local people here have read it. They also do not want to discuss the book. For everyone, including me, is complicit in the Satanism described in the book. Describing an evil does not make the book discriminatory. What the writings contain are revelations. And not attacks on anyone. A recent block on Meta! ChatGPT has not heard of my writings. Academia.edu does display my books. However, the readership seems to be mostly confined to the subcontinent. That might point to the fact that my writings are cordoned off from the view of native- English nationals. I sent the letter after being inundated with a series of requests. However, low-class academicians from the Subcontinent with sterile academic textbook-level scholarship act as evaluators. Reproducing academic nonsense is understood by them as originality and profundity. There was a very curious warning from Yahoo many years back, when Yahoo was in its heydays. That they can report my posts to the law enforcement department! Quora blocked me from commenting many years ago Many online media sites do not allow me to comment on their webpage. Look at these! I seem to be revealing some terrible secret that should never be mentioned. The blocks have been varied and lots, over the last 20 years. It will take many pages to narrate them. Here, I have given just a sample of each item. It is basically the handiwork of the employees of the firm. The owners of these firms would not know what is going on. Books by VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS Available on victoria.o victoria org.in, academi a ia and archive 01.

THE SYSTEM I am about to explain in the following pages is not one that is Based on what may be called the rules of ordinary Astrology. To make a map and erect a Horoscope from the exact hour and if possible, minute of birth, is a mathematical operation requiring considerable training and application. After this is accomplished, there remains the science or art of interpretation, without which the most accurately calculated Horoscope must remain to many students, still “a closed book,” or one full of so many contradictions that no proverbial “Chinese puzzle” is more difficult to solve. I will not dispute for one moment the value or the accuracy of deduction that can be arrived at by a really good Astrologer, who, provided he or she be given the moment of birth, can give not only a truthful description of character, but also make reliable predictions as to the future events of a life as seen from the positions of the planets in a Natal or Birth Horoscope, together with what is called the “Progressed Chart.” I have seen, both in my own work and of others, too many examples of the accuracy of predictions to disparage for one moment what can be done by those students of Astrology who rely implicitly on mathematical calculations to find the exact moment of “transits,” the eclipses of the Sun and Moon, trines, squares, oppositions, conjunctions, sextiles, etc., of the various planets in their bearing on human destiny. In writing this book, the object or goal I have kept before my mind is to interest and educate the “masses,” more than the smaller circle of individuals who have already devoted their time to the Study of Astrology. To the latter class I hope I may be privileged in perhaps presenting some old truths in a new light and so increasing and stimulating their interest in what must ever remain the most absorbing study of all studies. To the wider public, however, those who know little or nothing of what Astrology teaches; it will be the crowning object of my life, if I can succeed in placing the facts and truths of the following more simple form of this study in such a way before them that they will continue where I have left off. It will be my effort all through these pages, to write as clearly and simply as possible, keeping before my mind that the teacher has at one time been the pupil, and that the pupil of today may be the teacher of tomorrow. From the innumerable letters I have received, I have learned that the greater mass of people desire to have put before them as much information as possible on the influence of the Zodiac on human life, its effect on character, its causation of difficulties between men and women, with the other hundred and one tendencies it calls into being. This is part marvellous of Astrology , that it contains is well fitted in itself to stand so much out alone of what among is true the—mysteries so much of creation—proclaiming the incalculable wonders of Divine Design. It may be, it is true, only one page in the volume of Astrological Wisdom, but it is one of such importance, that it is the foundation stone of Astrology, in whatever form it may be regarded. As many of my readers may know little or nothing of the history of the Study that it is my privilege to write about in these pages. I think it will be only fair to them if I give in as brief a form as possible, some idea of its antiquity and some facts concerning those whose names have been associated with its history. Astrology, or the study of the Sun, Moon and Planets, is without doubt the oldest science known to mankind. The most ancient known works on the subject are the tablets of Sargon I of Agadi, who lived 3,800 years before Christ. Tradition teaches us that Seth, the third son of Adam, was so well versed in Astrology that, foreseeing the Flood by its means, he caused two pillars to be erected in Palestine, on which he carved the Signs of the Zodiac and other Astrological information, so that this knowledge might not be destroyed when the Deluge swept over the then known earth. This tradition is confirmed by Josephus, who, writing about 70 A. D. relates that in his own time “he saw one of the pillars of Seth still standing in the land of Syria.” In the third chapter of the first book of Josephus, the famous Hebrew historian writes: “Man lived so long before the Flood that he learned the arts and sciences, especially Astrology.” And he states that Abraham, when he sojourned in Egypt “taught the Egyptians the Knowledge of Astrology.” The great English Astronomer, Sir Isaac Newton, writing about the origin of Astrology, says: “The Egyptians determined the length of the solar year and fixed the solstices in the reigns of Ammon and Memnon, and the King of Sais, by the assistance of a priest of Egypt, created the science of Astrology, grounding it on the aspects of the Planets.” According to Oriental records, the birth of Astrology is co-existent with the creation of mankind. They state that Nacrawonsch, the son of Misraim, excelled in Astrology; be commenced the first dynasty of his race who were all skilled in the mystic arts. The most celebrated of the Misraimian Princes was Naerasch, who represented in figures and images, the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Pharaoh, the last Prince of this dynasty, endeavoured to destroy Noah, believing that by so doing, he would prevent the Deluge, but he was, himself with his whole family, swept away by the Flood. History tells us that Efilimoun alone, the chief Astrologer of the day, foreseeing the desolation that was coming, acknowledged the truth of the warning preached by Noah, and was admitted into the Ark with all his family. Forming an alliance with Noah and his descendants, he became the ancestor of twentysix kings of the second dynasty of Egypt and built the City of Memphis. Misraim, his son, was the depository of all the magical and astrological secrets of the first ages of the world. It is believed by many that he was the architect and builder of the Great Pyramid—the astronomical wonder of all time. History further tells us, that when Alexander the First overcame Darius III, that Callisthenes presented to the conqueror a record of the astronomical works of the Babylonians which extended over a period of about 1,900 years, dating from the year 2230 B. C. These records gave information as to the rising and setting of the planets in relation to the position of the Sun, new Moons, full Moons and eclipses, these clearly recorded, together with other information, all indicate that those ancient students of the heavens had a thorough knowledge of the motions and positions of the planets. The mystery of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, whose builder was probably Misraim as mentioned previously, is conceded in recent years to have been erected for some astrological purpose. Isaiah states in Chapter XIX, Verse 19: “In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.” This prophecy has been fulfilled in the last hundred years by the discovery that the Great Pyramid was purposely erected on the 30ᵗʰ degree of latitude, which exactly divides upper and lower Egypt. This division is now considered the official one, although it was not divulged in the age when the Great Pyramid was being built, but was perhaps known and purposely chosen by its architect. The four sides of the base if added together, make exactly 36,524 inches, which is the number of days in every hundred tropical years. Or, if written as the figure 365.24, it indicates as closely as possible the number of days in a solar year namely 365.24. The Great Pyramid is an example of the most perfect orientation of any known building in the world Abraham, although called “The father of the Jewish race” was a Chaldean by birth. The Bible tells us be came from the City of Ur of the Chaldees, where he doubtless learned the arts of Astrology for which the City of Ur was more famous in its day, than Babylon, Ninevah or the other great places of antiquity. In Genesis, Chapter I, Verse 16, one may read “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars (planets) also.” Returning to the pages of history, we find in old annals of Persia that Astrology was practised and encouraged by some of the greatest rulers in that kingdom. Zoroaster took up the study himself and became renowned in its practice. The Persian philosopher, Al Hakim, or the Wise, the supposed brother of King Gushtasp, as chief Minister of State, directed its affairs by the aid of Astrology. “Ancient Universal History” mentions that: “some treatises under his name are still current in the East.” He was the author of a book called “Judicia Gjamaspis,” in which is contained his judgment on the conjunctions of the planets. In this work he foretold that a great Teacher, a Christ, would be born in Palestine, that Mahommed would appear after him and that the Magian religion would be abolished. In China, astral science was firmly established in the most far off ages. In some instances even Kings were chosen on account of their astrological knowledge, as in the case of the Emperor Chueni in 2513 B. C. In ancient Greece at the highest period of her culture and power, many of her greatest philosophers were astrologers. Anaxagoras devoted his whole life to this study. Also such men of learning as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and Proclus. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, declared that: “The man who is ignorant of the science of Astrology deserves to be called a fool, rather than a physician.” Among the celebrated men of ancient Rome who were avowed believers in the study, one can cite Virgil, Cicero, Horace and the great friend of Cicero, Figulus. Suetonius, states that he foretold at the birth of Octavius: “That he would be lord of the world having taken the how of his birth. Strabo, the Historian, mentions that “in his day astrologers were also called Chaldea or Babylonia because they came originally from Chaldea or Babylonia.” In the year 815 A. D. the works of Ptolemy on Astrology were ordered to be translated into Arabic by the sixth Calif, Mamoon-orrasheed, a “man profoundly versed in literature and science.” In 1647 he was consulted by King Charles 1 “as to a safe place to conceal his royal person.” The King consulted him again in 1648, but on each occasion neglected to take Lilly’s advice, but as Lilly wrote: “In this year the Council of State gave me in money, fifty pounds and a pension of one hundred pounds per annum, which for two years I received, but no more.”* (*Lilly’s History) In 1651 he predicted the Plague and Fire of London for the year 1666. A few weeks after this terrible occurrence he was summoned to attend before a Committee of the House of Commons, "to appear on the 25ᵗʰ of October, 1666 at two of the clock in the afternoon, in the Speaker’s chamber, to answer such questions as shall be then and there asked him. The questions were, if he could throw light on the cause of the late fire, if his science denoted if it had happened by evil design or by accident? Lilly replied that he could not give the Committee the least satisfaction. He concluded that it was done “by the finger of God only; but what instruments He used thereunto I am ignorant.” He adds: “The Committee seemed well pleased with what I spoke and dismissed me with great civility.” It was, however, conceded by everyone that it had been a most remarkable prediction which increased enormously the respect for Astrology. Lilly died on the 9ᵗʰ of June, 1681. He was buried in the chancel of Walton Church by his friend and co-Astrologer, Sir Elias Ashmole. It was well known that Napoleon, when an unknown “petit corporal," climbed up to the attic of the monk, Pierre le Clerc, and had his astounding future mapped out before him. It is also on record that a few days before the famous “coup d’ etat” that made him First Consul, he again visited the monk and learned from him what would be the most favourable day for the attempt on which so much depended. It is to the great Napoleon’s credit that he never forgot what he owed to the advice he had received. A few short weeks after he ascended the throne as Emperor, he had the old monk sought out and rewarded him with a substantial pension for life and a comfortable home within the Palace grounds at Versailles. The tragedy of it all was, that five days before Waterloo, the old monk, now an aged and tottering man, set out to find Napoleon and place in his hands a Horoscope showing the fateful days lying ahead. He actually reached Napoleon’s Headquarters the night before the decisive battle of Waterloo. One can only speculate what might have been . . .. and yet what could not be. Repulsed and buffeted by rough sentinels on every side, the old man had no chance to deliver his message. Days after “the retreat” his dead body was found in a ditch, his hands even in death still grasping the fateful Horoscope. Some torn pages of which are preserved among the archives of Paris. In my own case I have been fortunate enough in having many of my forecasts or predictions placed on record long in advance of their fulfilment. Many hundreds of letters are on file with statements that such and such events foretold by me had taken place, some to the exact year, some to the exact month. I only relate these facts as most humbly bearing evidence of what can be achieved by conscientious study of what may be called the predictive arts. And now, we come to that great question that sooner or later must be uppermost in all men’s thoughts .. . . is there such a thing as Fate? A Destiny that “shapes our ends, rough hew them how we may.” This question has occupied the minds of philosophers and thinkers for ages and will continue to do so for aeons of ages to come. From my experience I can only give the following suggestion: As order and design are exhibited from the greatest Sun or planet to the smallest atom, so nations and mankind collectively as such, obey order and design, fulfil their destiny and pass away. But Man, individually was “created in the image and likeness of God."Man, therefore, being a “likeness of the God of Knowledge”….. for only such a God could create . .. . has within himself, the power to become a god in whatever sphere or world he is born into. The desire for Knowledge is the evidence of Soul or Spirit,—it is the dividing line, separating Mankind from the animal. By Knowledge Man alone becomes free—free from the Fate that ignorance would condemn him to bear. I will give an illustration. Suppose one knew that a heavy stone was at that moment falling from the roof, towards one’s head. As a sensible person, one would jump aside, and be saved—but the stone would continue to fall. In other words, the law or cause that might have killed the man is here represented—he escaped only because he was protected by Knowledge. Now suppose by means of a study of Astrology that one found it was indicated that one's health would be seriously affected at a certain age, as an equally sensible person one would take the warning and escape the threatened break, or at least minimise the consequences. To those who find it difficult to believe that there are certain studies that can and do throw light on the future, I can only advise that they should be sufficiently broadminded to spend some little time in the investigation of such studies believing as I do that Knowledge gained in this way is not only useful in a material sense, but may be the means of creating “a faith in things unseen” and a realisation of the divine design that has so far evolved Man, that his greatest desire, is, for Knowledge. In the following pages I have set out, not only the basic meaning of each month as handed down to mankind by the observations of Astrologers from far distant ages to the present day, but also the meaning ascribed to each day of the year from the influence of the planets according to Chaldean Numerology. These indications I have verified by my own long experience, together with the climacteric years in each person’s life as set out in these pages. As far as I know, this is the first time that these combinations have ever been given to the world in any attempt to make what may be called Zodiacal Astrology of assistance to the vast mass of humanity who have not the time or the inclination to go into mathematical calculations that would be necessary in working out any other Astrological system. _”CHEIRO” JANUARY January 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ January 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ ‘Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” PSALM 90, v. 12. The great Milton wrote over his own autograph in his Bible now preserved in the British Museum. JANUARY "The Stan o’er man’s poor trivial body ride And raise or lower it easier than the tide." CHAPTER I JANUARY The zodiacal influence for the month of January in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year. THE MONTH of January comes under the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn. The “cusp” of this Sign commences on or about December 21ˢᵗ. The “cusp” lasts for seven days, consequently the full influence of this Sign comes into power about the 28ᵗʰ of December and lasts until the 21ˢᵗ of January, when another seven days “cusp” begins under the influence of the next incoming Sign— Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. Capricorn is the Third House of the Earth Triplicity. Its Planetary Ruler is Saturn (Positive). It is also called the House of Saturn. If you are born in this month the basic principles of your character and disposition are as follows: 'A nature ambitious, militant, energetic and persevering. You are capable of enormous efforts towards the attainment of a desired object. The planet Saturn, which owing to this month you symbolise, is the embodiment of all that is cautious and discreet.' You will never take any important step without profound deliberation and unless you are absolutely certain of the result. There is no speculative element in Saturn. JANUARY You are skeptical, analytical, somewhat suspicious, slow to accept new theories, but broad-minded and open to conviction. The mental force is strong, philosophical and scientific in character; you are a deep thinker and a great reasoner. In religion the testimony is inclined to be fanatical in its earnestness, or the mind may swing to the opposite pole and believe in nothing. Above all things, you worship intellect, and can forgive almost anything of your friends if they are endowed with unusual intelligence or talent. You are exceedingly quick in your intuitions of people and things, but are inclined to be too easily discouraged in your plans, and fall into a despondent state at the first rebuff or disappointment Your views on love, duty and social economics will be always unique, and on this account you will often be regarded as odd and eccentric by those around you. Being highminded and independent, you must lead in whatever you undertake or you will lose interest in your work. You abhor restraint of any kind and revolt against anything of an obligatory nature, though in strange contradiction you show profound respect for tradition and authority. Life to you is a very serious but involved problem, and you will be inclined to revel in its most pessimistic phases. Constant work and industry becomes with you a kind of mania, but by plodding and quietly working with a given end in view, you will gain much more than by excitement or hurry. You are likely to rise through your own personal efforts and power of individuality far above the sphere of your birth. Your character is essentially positive, but you need to cultivate cheerfulness, as there is likely to be a strong tendency to hypochondria and melancholia. JANUARY As a general rule you will be much misunderstood by others. You will not easily mix with people; you will have few close friends, but at heart feel very much alone. You will make many enemies by nearly always espousing the unpopular cause or the “underdog” in any dispute. You would do best by aiming at some form of public life, such as in municipal affairs or in connection with politics, government life, or positions of responsibility and trust. HEALTH The Saturnian influence bearing upon this question for you born in January indicates a vigorous constitution and good physical stamina. At the same time, there is a strong tendency to depression and despondency which, if not acted against, will induce bilious attacks, trouble with the gall bladder, ulcers in the stomach, derangements of the digestive organs, and stoppages of the intestines. You should cultivate optimism and cheerful society in order to keep in good health. Cold will seriously affect you, and unless you are careful you will be likely to suffer from asthma, bronchial catarrh and such like ailments. High dry climates will suit you better than living in low altitudes. Study well your diet and keep up the circulation by adequate exercise, also avoid draughts, damp and cold winds. Plenty of change is absolutely essential for you, but it should never be a change to solitude. If your outlook should ever become limited or cramped, and conditions show signs of giving way, your innate gloom may turn to hypochondria unless you exert every force in your nature to cultivate the spirit of cheerfulness. JANUARY You will greatly desire to make a home for yourself in the country, and if possible, on some height on the side of a mountain or on some hilly place. You should never allow yourself to live in low-lying, wet or damp places, as you will have a very decided tendency to develop rheumatism, gout, pains and swellings in the feet. You are also likely to meet more accidents to the ankles, feet and legs, than is the lot of most people. FINANCE The dominate influence of Saturn ruling your birthmonth is not a favourable significator as it causes delays, hindrances and limitations in regard to financial advancement, at least in the early part of the life. Advancement, gain and success in money is promised by industry, slow plodding perseverance and by carefulness, thrift and economy. In fact, you are more likely to acquire wealth through your own personal efforts than by any dint of good fortune. Advantageous investments for you would be in land or house property, the building up of factories dealing especially in coal, lead or iron products, machinery for transport work or agriculture, the developing of farming enterprises and all things solid and concrete. You will experience much difficulty in obtaining money that should be yours by right and you should never lend without security, or you would be sure to lose. You should always see that the concerns in which you invest your money are established on solid foundations as these will be more fortunate to you than things of the more purely speculative order. JANUARY MARRIAGE, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIP, ETC. You will find your most harmonious relationship in persons born in your own Sign (Capricorn) Third House of Earth, December 21ˢᵗ to January 21ˢᵗ. In Taurus, April 20ᵗʰ to May 20ᵗʰ, First House of Earth; or Virgo, August 21ˢᵗ to September 20ᵗʰ, Second House of Earth, and in the seven days of the “cusp” at the beginning and ending of each of these periods; also persons born in the exact opposite part of the year to your own, in this case from about the 27ᵗʰ of July to September 27ᵗʰ. IMPORTANT TO READERS It has been established by scientific observation that there are only Nine Planets in our Earth’s Solar System that relate to life in this world. It has also been demonstrated by scientists that an exactly similar Solar System is repeated in the molecules revolving round 11 atoms in nature. In the same way there are only Nine Numbers by which all calculations on this earth are made. Beyond the numbers of 1 to 9 the rest are repetitions, a 10 being simply a 1 with a zero, an 11 is 1 plus1, a 2; a 12 is 1 plus 2, a 3, and so on. Every number, no matter how large, can be reduced to a single figure by what is called “natural addition" adding from left to right. The final single digit that remains is called the “spirit or soul number” of the previous numbers added together. It therefore follows that all Birthdates come into the 1-9 scale and respond to the numbers given to the Nine Planets of our Solar System. A person born on the 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, or 28ᵗʰ of a month is as equally a “Number One” individual, as if they had been born on the single 1. Their characteristics vary according to the position of their month in the Zodiac, as is explained in the following pages. CHAPTER II January 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Persons born on January 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Number 1 people in this month If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Sun, Uranus and Saturn, in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in January, but the Sun and Uranus will give you a marked individuality of your own. You will be very independent in your views, full of originality and creative in your desires. Success, unless brought about by very exceptional circumstances, is likely to be delayed until your latter years, but you have every promise that it will come in the end. At heart you will be very thoughtful and seriousminded, and extremely thorough-going in everything you undertake. You will be level-headed and practical and not easily swayed or influenced by other persons’ views. You will have a “set purpose” at the back of all your plans, never giving in or allowing yourself to be discouraged by difficulties."Although having a very generous nature, you will quickly resent any attempt to be imposed upon and will carry out your own charities in your own way. You will be decidedly ambitious and will be likely to rise beyond your fellows and other members of your family. Many obstacles may beset your path, but by your patience and determination you will overcome all difficulties. CHAPTER II January 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ FINANCE You will be frugal and cautious in financial matters, investing your money well in business or industries that promise a good return. You will make the most out of any opportunities that present themselves and will endeavour to make the best out of any situation you may find yourself placed in. You will have a strong magnetic influence over others, especially in any life that may bring you before the public. At the same time you may expect to meet much scandal and calumny at different times in your career. HEALTH If born on any one of these dates, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of January, you will have a great amount of vitality, provided you never indulge in drugs or intoxicants of any kind. You will be inclined at times to suffer from severe chills, rheumatism and arthritis. To avoid this you should live in high, dry climates as much as possible. Your most important numbers are the “one” (which represents the Sun) and the “four” (which represents Uranus). You should make every effort to carry out everything important for yourself on dates that make these numbers, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ of any month. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear or at least have in some part of your clothing, the colours of the Sun and Uranus, which are: The Sun: All shades of gold or yellow, or bronze to golden brown. Uranus: All shades of sapphire blue, greys or pastel colours. CHAPTER II January 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds, sapphires and amber. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ,37ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ and the 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ, 40ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ and 76ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one” or a “four" in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. * I met Marion Davies several times during my visit to Hollywood. She took a deep interest in my system of Numerology and the Study of the Hand. ** As I related in my recently published Memoirs, I was invited to meet “the great Stanley” at a luncheon in his house in London shortly after his return from finding Dr. Livingston in “Darkest Africa.” It was through Sir H. M. Stanley that I met Gladstone. CHAPTER III January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Persons born on January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Number 2 People in This Month If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Moon and Neptune in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in January, but the Moon and Neptune will give you a more gentle, imaginative and intuitional nature than the majority of people born in January, as previously described. You will be inclined to become despondent if things do not go the way you want, and shrink into yourself at the approach of opposition or any rough action by others. You will be over-sensitive and inclined to be too easily hurt and wounded. You are likely to succeed in gifts of the imagination more than by any hard and fast business methods. You will have “day-dreams” of the high positions your ambitions force you to claim. Your dreams are likely to become realities if you develop self-confidence in all you undertake. Being extremely sensitive, you crave for encouragement to force you to make the best out of your faculties. You will be restless and unhappy if tied down by circumstances for you must have liberty to carry out your visions. FINANCE You will not be fond of money except as “a means to an end.” You will have a curious feeling of being above it, knowing that by your brains you can always gain what you want. You will be considered more rich than you really are. CHAPTER III January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ It will hurt your sensitive nature to refuse any demand and for this reason you may at times become impoverished in attempting to keep up your position in the world. In spite of this, your natural tendency is to be cautious in money. You will be inclined by overwork mentally, to “take too much out of yourself,” and to bring on a breakdown of the nervous system, but if so the least “letup” or rest will restore you to good health. You are likely to become a great believer in some special form of diet which will be greatly to your advantage. You should guard yourself against all forms of gout and rheumatism and live in a dry climate if possible. You may at times expect some trouble with your eyes. Also weakness, delicacy or curvature of the spine. Your most important numbers are the “two,” which represents the Moon, and the “seven,” which represents Neptune. You should endeavour to carry out everything important for yourself on dates that make these numbers, or any one of their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ in any month. To increase your magnetic vibrations and make yourself more fortunate, you should wear constantly, or in some part of your clothing, the colours of the Moon and Neptune, which are: The Moon: All shades of white, cream and pale green. Neptune: All shades of dove-grey from the lightest to the darkest. Your “lucky” jewels are jade, pearls, moonstones or cat’s-eyes. CHAPTER III January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ, 70ᵗʰ and 74ᵗʰ. You will find a magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “two” or a “seven” in any part of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. The First of these “Number Twos” in Capricorn, commenced on the 29ᵗʰ of December. The Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone is a good example of a “Number Two” person born in this Sign. He had extraordinary mental intellect, but although one of the greatest statesmen England ever had, he never became a rich man. At the interview he gave me at his home, Hawarden Castle, on August 3ʳᵈ, 1897, he expressed the deep interest he took in my Study of Numbers. I met Lord Curson when he first commenced his political life and indicated the brilliant successful career that lay before him. He was particularly interested in my telling him of the curvature of his spine which was to afflict him all through his years. He told me what very few people, knew, of the steel corset he was compelled to wear continuously. This made him appear stiff and ill at ease, which caused many to misjudge him. CHAPTER III January 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ After the death of his American wife, Mary Leiter of Chicago, he called for me to come to his house in London, where he reviewed in detail my prediction to her of “a brilliant marriage to a man of another nationality, by whom she would hold a position like that of a Queen in a far off land. This came true when she became Vice-reine of India. CHAPTER IV January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Persons born on January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ. Number 3 people in this month If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planet Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in January, but being under a strong aspect of Jupiter you will be somewhat aggressive and forceful in off your plans and desires. You will have great ambition underlying all you undertake. You will rise in life by your own efforts and your determination to succeed. You will meet with considerable jealousy and opposition and will make many enemies in whatever your career may be. You would do well in all forms of public life, no matter what class it maybe. Also in positions of authority where you would have control and responsibility over others. You will be inclined to “lay down the law” and will hold firmly to whatever your own views or opinions may be. You are not likely to find much happiness in marriage unless you have the luck to meet some member of your opposite sex who will look up to you as their mental superior. You will be constructive mentally, capable of making plans on a big scale. You should endeavour to carry out your own ideas and not trust too much to others. CHAPTER IV January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Persons born on January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ. Number 3 people in this month If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planet Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in January, but being under a strong aspect of Jupiter you will be somewhat aggressive and forceful in off your plans and desires. You will have great ambition underlying all you undertake. You will rise in life by your own efforts and your determination to succeed. You will meet with considerable jealousy and opposition and will make many enemies in whatever your career may be. You would do well in all forms of public life, no matter what class it maybe. Also in positions of authority where you would have control and responsibility over others. You will be inclined to “lay down the law” and will hold firmly to whatever your own views or opinions may be. You are not likely to find much happiness in marriage unless you have the luck to meet some member of your opposite sex who will look up to you as their mental superior. You will be constructive mentally, capable of making plans on a big scale. You should endeavour to carry out your own ideas and not trust too much to others. CHAPTER IV January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ If born on January 21ˢᵗ or 30ᵗʰ, you will more easily rise in life to high positions of responsibility. You will have a keen desire, if born on these later dates, to help others or lift the “submerged class” to a better position. You will aim to bring good to the masses, more than to the individual; in consequence you will arouse hatred and malice from individual enemies and may at times be in danger to your life from such sources. You will not spare yourself in whatever work you set yourself to do and consequently at many periods of your life you will run the risk of complete nervous exhaustion. FINANCE You will endeavour to make use of large sums of money to carry out your plans or ambitions. You will run considerable risk in working out your schemes, as the least miscalculation will allow enemies to pull you down. You may expect success as a general rule, provided it is not personal gain that may tempt you to take on too much. HEALTH Although endowed with a splendid constitution you are likely to undermine your health by continual mental strain and overwork. Unless you take care and husband your reserve energy, you will be liable to some form of paralysis and heart failure, but it will be largely your own fault if you do not reach the average span of life. Your most important numbers are the “three” and its series, representing the planet Jupiter, and the “eight” which represents the planet Saturn. You should make every effort to carry out your plans on dates that make the number “three,” such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. CHAPTER IV January 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ If born on January 30ᵗʰ you come under the Sign of Aquarius, House of Saturn (Negative). Your numbers will remain the same as those born on the3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ and 21ˢᵗ of January, but being under Saturn (Negative) you will have less restrictions and should be able to make more out of your life. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your clothing the colours of: Jupiter: All shades of violet to violet-purple or mauve. Your “lucky" jewels are the amethyst, or stones with a violet or purple tinge in them, also black pearls and black diamonds. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 3ʳᵈ, 8ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 26ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ, 35ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 57ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 66ᵗʰ, 71ˢᵗ, 75ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “three” in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. You will also attract to you persons born on the “eight” or its series, such as the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ, but such persons will not be so fortunate for you as those representing the series of the “three”. Walter Damrosch, the famous conductor, gave me impressions of his hands during my visit to New York. CHAPTER V January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ Persons born on January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ. Number 4 people in this month Born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibration of the planets Uranus, the Sun and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in January, but the influence of Uranus at this date of the month will accentuate all these indications in your case. You will be original in your views, extremely independent in your character and not inclined to fit in with the plans or ideas of other people, or those with whom you may be forced to live. Your life will be a difficult one in relation to all home ties or marriage. You will find yourself much misunderstood in your actions and feel isolated in life. You will be unconventional in your views and ideas, and will have to carve out your own road if you want to be successful. Your ambitions will be much thwarted by opposition and you will need the greatest exercise of patience in carrying out your projects. At heart you will be intensely serious, covering this up at times with the pretence that you are mocking at life’s ups and downs and laughing at Fate. In reality, deep down in your soul you are a “fatalist,” just playing a role on Life’s Stage for good or evil, as the case may be. The underlying motive of all your actions will be the desire to gain power over others, whether you gain it by the pen, the tongue, or the sword, matters little. CHAPTER V January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ In some ways these dates in January make a good combination for those who follow a public life, but they give a strong leaning for unusual actions, originality of thought and a distinct trend towards eccentricity. FINANCE Here again you may expect the unusual to happen. Money will be gained by you but to pass out of your hands like water. Fame, whether it is good or bad, will last longer for you than finance. Your name may be remembered but your grave neglected. If you are not extremely careful to lay aside provision for the future your advanced years may find you in a very serious condition. HEALTH In matters regarding health you will find yourself living under peculiar conditions with more likelihood of illness caused by accident than by any form of disease. The principal parts of the body more liable to be afflicted are the lower limbs and feet. You will have, however, extraordinary vitality. It would be difficult to kill you by any means except by violence or accident, and you will be prone to meet with both in the course of your life. Your most important numbers are the “four” and its series, representing the planet Uranus, and “one” and its series, representing the Sun, and the “eight” and its series representing Saturn. The numbers “four” and “one” are the most fortunate for you to use and act on. The “eight” and its series will be greatly drawn into your affairs, but I do not advise you to seek or use these numbers of “eight” if you can avoid doing so. CHAPTER V January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ The numbers of the eight are the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ of any month. You should make every effort to carry out your plans on dates that make the numbers of “four” and “one,” such as: 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your clothing, some touch of yellow, gold or golden brown, also sapphire-blues, greys or pastel colours. The colours of your most important planets are: The Sun: All shades of yellow and gold or bronze to golden brown. Uranus: All shades of sapphire-blue, greys, pastels or “electric colours.” Your “lucky” jewels are the diamond, topaz, sapphires and black pearls. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, and series such as the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ will also have an important effect, but are not so favourable. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “four” or a “one” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. Persons born on dates such as the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ are likely to be much drawn into your life, but will not be so favourable for you from a material standpoint. CHAPTER V January 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ *John Strange Winter, the celebrated authoress whose first novel “Bootel’s Baby" made a sensation, often consulted me in London. She was particularly interested in all occult studies. ** Constance Collier, the famous actress, wrote in my autograph book: “The prophecies you made to me, when I was between sixteen and seventeen, and which I wrote down at the time, have come true in every detail." ***Tallulah Bankhead, the well-known actress and daughter of Senator Bankhead, gave me impressions of her hands for my collection. ****Anna Pavlova, the great Russian dancer, came to consult me on several occasions. She was perhaps one of the most “temperamental” of all my visitors. CHAPTER VI January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Persons born on January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. Number 5 people in this month If born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planet Mercury and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn, (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in January, but the planet Mercury will lessen or make less important any of the bad indications in your case. You will have great versatility and your chief difficulty will be to get into a line of work suitable to your talents and ambitions. You will try many things in life and change your career many times. You will have great adaptability to both people and studies. You will love movement and will travel and see a great deal of the world. It will be very difficult for you to find your true vocation in life as there is nothing you cannot adapt yourself to, but you may find it hard to stick to anything for any length of time. You will get wonderful and unexpected chances and opportunities thrown in your way. You will have a keen, penetrating critical mind, but somewhat suspicious of those you come in contact with for the first time. People can only influence you through kindness and sympathy. You will be tactful and diplomatic; good at winning secrets from others which you will readily apply to some practical purpose. CHAPTER VI January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ You will be fond of literature and be an extensive reader. At times you may become interested in science, chemistry and new inventions; occult studies may also claim your attention, but your mind is too practical for any visionary ideas. You will be characterised as “having an old head on young shoulders.” You should cultivate optimism so as to be able to overcome despondency that will seize you in moods. FINANCE You will be careful and frugal in dealing with money matters. You will have a horror of getting into debt. You will have sound practical ideas as to investments, but inclined to be over-cautious for your own good and so in money matters miss many opportunities you might otherwise use to your advantage. HEALTH If you were born on January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ your chief care should be to relax, and remove strain from your nervous system. You will feel everything keenly and suffer from moods of temperament. At times you will be liable to have fits of despondency which have a depressing effect on the digestive organs, producing in its turn acidity of the blood causing pains in the joints, bones and especially in the knees. You will have a good background of a wiry constitution, which will endow you with great resistance to any form of disease that may attack you. Your most important number is the “five” and all its series, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, but as a rule all numbers will be equally lucky for you, except the numbers of “four” and “eight” in all their series, which are 4, 13, 22, 31 and 8, 17 and 26. CHAPTER VI January 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ You should endeavour to carry out your plans on your own individual number of “five” or any of its series that make the dates of the “five”, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ in any month. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make life more fortunate, you should wear light colours as much as possible. Your “lucky” jewel is the diamond, and all glistening stones. The most important climacteric years in your life are the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 32ⁿᵈ, 41ˢᵗ, 50ᵗʰ, 68ᵗʰ, 77ᵗʰ; also the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ, 35ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 62ⁿᵈ, and 71ˢᵗ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on dates making a “five” in any month of the year, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. People born on the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ will be drawn into your life and affairs, but as a general rule will not be so favourable for you. * Jean de Reszki, the famous tenor, was one of my regular consultants whenever he sang at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. CHAPTER VII January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Persons born on January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ. Number 6 people in this month If you wore born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planets Venus and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn, (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described in preceding pages for persons born in January, but in your case the influence of the planet Venus will make such indications more favourable for you. Matters of love, marriage and affection will play a very important role in your life and you will be greatly swayed by such things. The influence of persons of your opposite sex will cause your life and career to be very eventful. You should endeavour to develop your own strong will and individuality in order not to be submerged by such influences, but, as a general rule, you will gain considerably by your magnetic personality. You would succeed best in businesses or professions dealing with the public, but of an artistic nature, such as music, art, literature, the theatre and inventions on not ordinary lines. In your earlier years you will be likely to be kept back by home conditions or the demands of relatives, also through illness relating to the internal organs of the body. The indications are that you will, in the end, surmount all such obstacles and become successful in whatever career you decide to make your own. CHAPTER VII January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ If you were born on the 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ of January you will come under more fortunate conditions than those governing the 6ᵗʰ. You may have equal difficulties to meet with in your early years, but you will more easily surmount them and gain fame and reputation by whatever you set your mind on to accomplish. FINANCE Those born on January 6ᵗʰ will not be inclined to hoard up money no matter what their opportunities may be, but those born on the 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ will slowly but steadily build up and strengthen their financial position. They will make good provision for their future and have every likelihood of becoming wealthy. HEALTH If you were born on January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ, you may expect more than the average amount of good health all through your life. You will have danger from fire and such things as motor cars and should keep yourself and your property well insured. Your most important numbers and dates are the “six” and all its series, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ and 24ᵗʰ. You should endeavour to carry out anything important for yourself on dates making these series. You should act very carefully on dates making a “four” or an “eight”, or any of their series, which are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, and 31st. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear constantly the colours of the planet Venus, which are all shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest. CHAPTER VII January 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Your “lucky” jewels are the turquoise and all blue stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 42ⁿᵈ, 51ˢᵗ, 60ᵗʰ and 69ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “six” in any month of the year, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ and 24ᵗʰ. People born on “fours” and “eights” will be much drawn into your life and affairs, but as a rule their burdens and troubles will come on your shoulders. CHAPTER VIII January 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Persons born on January 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ. Number 7 people in this month If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of die planet Neptune, the Moon and Saturn, in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described for persons born in January, but in your case the influence of the above combination will increase or augment such indications. You will be intensely devotional, no matter what career you may follow, and at heart innately religious, but your religious bent will be towards some unusual or unconventional form. You will be romantic, idealistic, highly imaginative and live in a mental world of your own. You will have a keen desire for travel, especially on the ocean. The practical or business world will more or less jar on your idealism. If you are in the position to do it, you will move about a great deal and have many changes of residence during the run of your life. You would succeed well in settling in some part of the world far from the place of your birth, dealing with people of a different nationality to your own. If you were born on any of the above dates, circumstances or destiny will lift you into positions of authority or responsibility over others. At the same time, life will not be altogether “a bed of roses,” especially in connection with domestic matters or sorrows and disappointments caused by your relations. CHAPTER VIII January 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ FINANCE The positions you will occupy will bring you fame and much popularity, but the money that will pass through your hands will not bring you much happiness. From a worldly standpoint you will be likely to marry well, but to have severe trials to pass through. HEALTH Your constitution in your early years will be inclined to be delicate. You will be prone to have peculiar illnesses difficult to diagnose by ordinary means. You should pay particular attention to your throat, lungs and heart. The most important numbers are those of the “Seven” and the “Two” and all their series. You should make every effort to carry out any important thing for yourself on dates making these numbers, which are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. You should look out as much as possible for difficulties or unhappy conditions brought from persons born on dates making a “four” or an “eight,” such as on the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should use shades of greys and greens in your wearing apparel, such as all shades of dove-grey, pastels or “electric colours.” All shades of green, creams and white. Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, moonstones and pearls. The most important, climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ and 70ᵗʰ. CHAPTER VIII January 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ You will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on dates making a “seven” or a “two” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. CHAPTER IX January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ Persons born on January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ. Number 8 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described for persons born in January, but in your case the influence of the planet Saturn will be so powerful that such indications will be augmented or increased. Persons born on these dates come under what is called “a double Saturn.” They generally have some heavy “cross to bear” or great responsibility forced on their shoulders. If you were born on January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ, you will have great difficulties and oppositions to contend against. You will get little, if any, help from others and will have to depend on yourself for any success that may come into your life. You will, however, have great patience, perseverance and determination in all you undertake. You will have strong ambition and no amount of opposition will daunt you in any purpose or plan you will set yow mind on to achieve. At times you will undergo severe spells of depression and gloomy forebodings, or moments of extreme melancholia that will be difficult to shake off. You will encounter many trials and sorrows caused by family ties or by the loss of those you love, and the later marriage should occur the better it would be for you. You will not be lucky in any form of gambling, speculations or “get rich-quick” schemes. CHAPTER IX January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You will accumulate money by slow, laborious means, by the hard work of your brain, or in some cases by the developing or opening up of lands, mines or minerals, such things as coal, lead, concrete works or large building operations would be favourable for you, together with positions of heavy responsibility. You will have a naturally serious disposition. You will be a deep thinker, good in reasoning out plans for others and excellent in debate, if the argument presented should sufficiently rouse you to either attack your opponent or defend yourself. You will be very decidedly ambitious, not from vain glory or the love of power, but from sterling conscientious motives, especially if you can see your way to be of help to others. You will be likely to make strange attachments to those inferior to you mentally, and morally, which will leave you open to criticism and underhand opposition. Although never blinded to the faults of others you will be ready to find an excuse for their actions or take the responsibility on your own shoulders. You will be “a personality” in whatever your place in the world may be. At times you will be the victim of acute moods of despondency, especially if you should reach a point in your career where you could no longer do good work. You will never “wear your heart on your sleeve” or let others know your heartaches. Your eyes will appear bathed in the light of the Sun, while your feet may walk in darkness. CHAPTER IX January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ FINANCE In spite of meeting great opportunities, you are not likely to make much provision for your failing years. Although capable of giving splendid advice to others, you will not follow it for your own personal advantage. To the surprise of your friends, towards the end of your days you are likely to become comparatively poor by giving your money away to others or making peculiar provisions in your will. HEALTH In health, sudden and unexpected illnesses are likely to happen. Stoppages and strictures of the internal organs and operations may be expected, but against that there will be long periods of good health. You should study all questions of diet more than the average person and not allow yourself to live for any length of time in damp low-lying districts. You are liable to have injuries to the lower limbs, weakness or turning of the ankles, injuries to the spinal column caused by falls or by accidents. Your most important numbers are the “four” and “eight” and all their series, and dates making these numbers will play an important role in your life. To increase your magnetic vibrations yon should wear the following colours: Dark violet-purple, black or blue-blade. Ultramarine blue, sapphire colours and all shades of grey. Your “lucky” jewels are black pearls, black diamonds and sapphires. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ,17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 71ˢᵗ and 80ᵗʰ. CHAPTER IX January 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on dates making an “eight” or a “four” in any month of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ, but as a general rule persons born on these dates will lay their burdens on your shoulders. *Alma Tadema, the famous painter, was deeply interested in my system of Numbers and told me how the number “eight” had always turned up in the important affairs of his life. This number I have fully explained in “Cheiro’s Book of Numbers,” together with the remarkable example of how the “four” and “eight” appeared to dominate the life and actions of Doctor Crippen, who after a long sensational trial, was executed in London for the murder of his wife. He paid his debt to the law when these two numbers came together for the first time—he was forty-eight years of age when he went to the scaffold. CHAPTER X January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Persons born on January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ. Number 9 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn (Positive) Third House of the Triplicity of Earth. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described for persons born in January, but in your case the influence of the planet Mars will make you have a very eventful, stirring and rather fatalistic life. Circumstances over which you have little or no control will play a great part in all your affairs. You will force your way forward in whatever you undertake, but you will be liable to have unusual “ups and downs” of fortune. At times everything will appear to go your own way and again there will be periods when everything will be the reverse. Unless you are born in wealthy circumstances made by your forebears, you are likely to have a very hard and difficult beginning. Up to about your thirty-third to thirty-fifth year the indications are that you will be forced to undertake a great deal of irksome work at variance to your nature and desire. You will be extremely ambitious and will never be satisfied until you attain some position of prominence beyond or above your fellows. You will be endowed with a considerable amount of courage and self-assurance which will sustain you well in the battle of life. You will possess executive and organizing ability beyond the average person, but to do justice to yourself, you should get into some wide scope of action. CHAPTER X January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Rulership or government work of any kind would be in keeping with your nature or any high position of responsibility in connection with industry or enterprise. You will have a love of adventure and excitement, which will cause you to encounter danger in many forms. You are likely to meet with numerous accidents and risk your life under unusual circumstances. Industrious and acquisitive, you will build up any business with which you may be associated, but as there is a strong speculative undercurrent running through your disposition you will often take on risks that will at times overwhelm you. You unconsciously will make enemies and at times will suffer severely from conspiracies formed against you and treachery from unexpected quarters. You are likely to gain socially through marriage, but to have some peculiar experience in connection with it in the latter years of your life. You will be quick and irritable in temper. You will be dogmatic and headstrong. You will make many powerful enemies and will be liable to suffer discredit in your advanced years through treachery and false friends. FINANCE If born on the 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of January, after the age of about thirty-five and up to your sixtieth year you will be likely to control or have large sums of money passing through your hands. From that out to the end you will need to exercise great prudence and care if you are to keep your position and wealth. CHAPTER X January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ HEALTH From the standpoint of health you will get a good start in life and be endowed with a splendid constitution. This is likely to continue up to advanced years when an over-strained heart will begin to put in an appearance. If you can lie off and rest you may be able to forestall the evil day for some time, but the indications are of sudden death without warning. Your most important numbers are the “nine” in all its series. You should endeavour to carry out your plans or anything important on dates making these numbers, which are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ. The number “eight” and the “four” and all their series, and persons born the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ of any month will play important roles in your life and career, but there will be something more fatalistic than favourable in connection with these numbers and their series, or persons these numbers represent. Personally you should avoid employing the number “four” and the “eight “and all their series as much as possible. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should use the following colours: Mars: All shades of rose, crimson or reds. Your “lucky” jewels are the ruby, garnet and bloodstone. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 72ⁿᵈ, 81ˢᵗ and 90ᵗʰ. CHAPTER X January 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ You will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on dates making a three, six or nine in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. General, Sir James Grierson, on the declaration of War by England on August 4, 1914, on account of his life-time study of German military tactics, was ordered to proceed at once to Paris to take charge of the British troops arriving every day in France. On the train just as it neared its destination, after his dinner he was offered a small cup of black coffee by one of the stewards. The General drank it and a few minutes later slumped over in his chair and died before a doctor could come to his aid. It was rumoured he had been poisoned by a German spy. FEBRUARY FEBRUARY February 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ February 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ February 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ February 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ February 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ February 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ February 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ February 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ "To ask or search I blame thee not; for heaven is the book of God before thee set. Wherein to read his wondrous works, and learn His seasons, hours or days, or months or years. _MILTON’s Paradise Lost. CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY All nature is but Art, unknown to thee; All chance, direction which thou can’st not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good." _Pope CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY The zodiacal influence for the month of February in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year. The Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, also called the House of Saturn, (Negative) commences on or about January 21ˢᵗ, but for seven days being overlapped by the “cusp” of the preceding sign, it does not come into its full power until January 28ᵗʰ or February 1ˢᵗ. From this date on, it is in full strength until February 19ᵗʰ. From then out it is gradually losing force on account of becoming overlapped by the incoming Sign—Pisces. Note: Those born in the “cusps” take from the qualities of both Signs of the Zodiac. If you were born in February you will be inclined to be oversensitive and easily hurt and wounded by others. You will feel lonely in life though you are likely to make contacts with large numbers of people. You will not be demonstrative in your affections or able to express your love nature; you will, however, be intensely loyal to those you love and will fight to the bitter end for a friend or for any cause you espouse. You will have strong intuitions about those you come in contact with and will be generally right in your judgment. CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY You will “read” people instinctively, but being so sensitive and so disinclined to hurt others, you will be prone to conceal your opinions or keep them to yourself. You will be extremely highly strung from the very fact that you cannot “let go” and express yourself, and your nerves at times are likely to become much over-wrought. If you do lose control, and say what is in your mind, you will suffer from fits of conscience and bitterly regret what you have said and go to the other extreme in trying to repair the breach. You will have a great desire to be active or employed for the public good and will be more than usually generous in helping to relieve the distress of others. You will be inclined to aid public charities more than the average individual on account of an innate dread of being imposed upon or “taken in” by a personal “hard luck” story. You will have a very logical type of mind and like to have subjects quietly reasoned out with you. You will have remarkably good ideas in business and will be found giving excellent advice to others, but as a general rule you will find yourself filling positions of trust and responsibility and more successful for others than for yourself. You will require some call of duty or circumstances to demonstrate the sterling qualities that you possess, but if “the call” does come, you will rise to the occasion and surprise everyone by the hidden powers and abilities you possess. If you can overcome your sensitiveness and develop self-confidence, there is no position in life you could not attain. CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY You would succeed best in some large sphere of action for the good of others. Those who become “awakened,” if born in this Sign, usually leave a great name behind in the cause of humanity, or by some great invention that has brought unusual benefit to the world at large. You will be inclined to take a deep interest in public movements that attract large masses of people. You will be found attending important ceremonies of national interest in whatever country that you may call your own. Although living much in yourself, you will exhibit the strange contradiction of liking crowds and going where people congregate, such as mass meetings, theatres, places of amusement and such like. You will also exhibit the strange complexity that, although your own nerves are nearly always in an over-wrought condition, yet you will have great power over excitable people or those who are hysterical or insane and you will often find yourself thrown among such types in your journey through life. If you are born into wealthy surroundings the likelihood will be that you will never develop your best qualities, but just drift down the stream of life, until too late to make any change. You should study the companions you choose more than perhaps any other class, for the reason that being lacking in self-confidence, you could easily become influenced by those you come into close contact with. CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY HEALTH In health you will be likely to suffer through nerves and the upper part of the stomach, liver and gallbladder, in a way that is difficult for doctors to understand or relieve. You will be inclined to buy any quack medicine that is well advertised and have always some new pill or tonic to offer to your friends. You will suffer, as a rule, with poor circulation of the blood, anaemia, chilblains, pains in the head and back, palpitation and weakness of the heart, disorder of the bladder and kidneys, dropsy; also peculiar accidents to the feet and “turning” or twisting of the ankles or breaking of the bones in advanced years. FINANCE The influence of Saturn and Uranus governing this part of the Zodiac gives the likelihood of great and sudden changes in your fortunes. You will always be liable to experience remarkable and unexpected reversals and should be very careful in matters of an uncertain or hazardous nature. It is a favourable position, however, for your receiving an income from trusts, insurance companies, banking concerns, also from railway companies, electrical installations, aviation and the floating of inventions. Your income, however, unless you are extremely prudent, will always be more or less uncertain, and it will generally be your portion to experience extremes. At some period of your life you are likely to come into a great deal of money from a totally unlooked for source, and in a very peculiar or “out of the way” fashion. CHAPTER XI FEBRUARY MARRIAGE, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, ETC. You will find your most harmonious relationships with persons born January21ˢᵗ to February 19ᵗʰ, in your own Sign (Aquarius), Third House of Air; or in Gemini, First House of Air, May 21ˢᵗ to June 20ᵗʰ; or in Libra, Second House of Air, September 21ˢᵗ to October 20ᵗʰ; and in the seven days of the "cusp” at the beginning or ending of each of these periods. You will be much attracted to persons born in the part of the year opposite your own, in this case from about the end of July to the end of August. CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Persons born on February 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ. Number 1 people in this month. We will now consider the individual birthdays in February. I previously called attention to the fact that the ruler of Capricorn (January) was Saturn, Positive; and that the planetary ruler of Aquarius (February) was Saturn, Negative. At the commencement of each Sign of the Zodiac there is a period called “the cusp” where it appears one sign overlaps into the other for about seven days. January 21ˢᵗ to January 28ᵗʰ is therefore the “cusp” period of both Capricorn and Aquarius. Every day from January the 21ˢᵗ the Sign of Capricorn is declining and the Sign of Aquarius is gaining in strength. From on, or about, January 28ᵗʰ to February 19ᵗʰ, the Sign of Aquarius, whose ruler is Saturn (Negative) is in full force and remains so up to February 19ᵗʰ, when, the “cusp “of the next Sign—Pisces—commences. We have, therefore, to consider that almost the whole of the month of February is influenced by the Sign of Aquarius, whose ruler is Saturn (Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Air. On account of this, all birthdays during February come under the description given to similar dates in January. But, being now under the rule of Saturn (Negative) are not quite so fatalistic in their meaning. If you were born on any one of the above dates up to February 19ᵗʰ, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Sun, Uranus and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, House of Saturn (Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Air. CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ You will be under less fatalistic influences than persons born on the same dates in January who are under the rule of Saturn, (Positive). The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described forepersons born in February, but if born on the1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, or 28ᵗʰ of the month, you will be more free to carry out your plans and ambitions. The early years of your life will be full and active. Unexpected changes will happen to your family, plans made by them for you are not likely to be carried out and the chances are that you will start out into the world at an early age to make your own way. You will be versatile and full of original ideas. You will have great ambition, strong will and determination, and inclined to try many roads in your climb towards success. You will excite treachery and underhand dealings by those jealous of you and will have many changes in whatever career you may try during the first part of your life. You will not be what is called “lucky” with other people and should be most careful in all dealings with partners or associates. You would do better alone, in working out whatever your plans may be, as you are liable to be defrauded oreasily robbed by others. You should always aim for big things and try to come in contact with those in higher positions than yourself. FINANCE You should avoid gambles and speculations when other people’s interests are concerned. At times you may be inclined to over-reach yourself in your efforts to make money quickly. CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ For those who lead professional careers such as doctors, lawyers, actors, artists, etc., the month of February is not so favourable in their efforts to hoard up or keep money. On the contrary it is a good combination for those engaged in solid businesses, such as bankers, financiers, or heads of large industries, perhaps because persons born in this Sign are better in dealing for other people than for themselves. If you were born on February 28ᵗʰ, you will be in the commencement of the in-coming Sign of Pisces, beyond the zone of Aquarius, the House of Saturn (Negative). You should therefore have less restrictions and should expect considerable success in carrying out whatever your career may be. HEALTH If you were born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ or 19ᵗʰ of February, you will have a superabundance of mental energy, but will not be as strong physically as persons born on February 28ᵗʰ. The digestive apparatus will be inclined to get easily out of order, you should eat lightly but often, and get more sleep than the average person. You will, however, have a very wiry constitution mid throw off illnesses quickly. Your most important numbers are “one,” which represents the Sun, and the “four” which represents Uranus. You should concentrate your efforts to do everything important for yourself on dates that make these numbers, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate you should, in your clothing, wear the colours of the Sun and Uranus, which are CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ The Sun: All shades of gold or yellow to golden brown. Uranus: All shades of sapphire, dark blues and greys. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds, sapphires, amber and topaz. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ and 73ʳᵈ. If you were born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of February, you then belong to the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter. This is more beneficial than if you were born on the 1ˢᵗ or 10ᵗʰ of February. Taking the 19ᵗʰ of February on the beginning of the "cusp” of Pisces, the important numbers for persons born on this date and also on February 28ᵗʰ, are the numbers of the Sun and Uranus, the one hyphen four (1-4) and the “three” of Jupiter. Coming as these numbers do on the “cusp” at the beginning of the rulership of Jupiter (Negative), we get more fortunate influences over the lives of those born on these dates. They will be more free to carry out their ambitions or whatever work they are associated with. Less preventive conditions will hamper them than those born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ during January and up to February 19ᵗʰ. There need be less fear of the fatalistic number of “eight” cropping up in their lives. The numbers they will find the most important will be those of one hyphen four (1-4) the “three,” and the series of 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22, 28, 31, and if born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ, the 3, 12, 21 and 30. CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ If you were born on any of the above dates, your “lucky” jewels and colours will remain die same as those previously given for “number one” persons, but the colours of Jupiter can now be added for those born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of February, which are all shades of violet, mauve to violet purple, with the jewel of Jupiter—the amethyst. The greatest change will be in all matters of health. If born on February 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ, you will have wonderful vitality, although inclined to exhaust yourself by overwork or over-exertion. You will awake each morning like the Sun, with renewed energy, to begin another day. You will be likely to have, however, a tendency for diseases of the liver, impurity of the blood, to catch colds easily and may often be threatened with pleurisy and a delicacy of the lungs. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one,” “four” or “three” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ,10ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ and 76ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XII FEBRUARY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ *Lord Charles Beresford gave me impressions of his hands for my collection and often called on me during my visits to London. He was keenly interested in occult studies, perhaps on account of “The Beresford Curse” which appeared to have an influence on all the principal members of his family. CHAPTER XIII FEBRUARY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Persons born on February 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Number 2 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates in February, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Moon and Neptune but being born in February, Saturn is in its Negative house. Consequently Saturn, not having the same degree of afflicting, constricting, or fatalistic conditions, you will be under more favourable influences and more able to carry out your plans and ambitions. Your basic characteristics will remain the same as those given for persons born in February, as described in previous pages. You will be romantic and idealistic and will have many love affairs of a more or less unusual kind. You will have considerable ambition and will get many chances of bettering your position. You are likely to find your early home life and surroundings not very congenial and the likelihood is you will go out in the world “on your own.” You will, however, have to conquer your “oversensitiveness” and develop the “self-confidence” that is so necessary to persons born under these numbers, especially in the commencement of the year. You will have many changes in your life and career, and a great desire to travel and see other countries far from your land of birth. You will have many talents, but will be inclined to develop gifts of the imaginative faculties and would do well in new inventions, especially those of wide service to humanity at large. CHAPTER XIII FEBRUARY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ You will have a keen desire to express yourself in art, literature, music or the drama, and would succeed in such things. You are likely to become rich in your later yean by your own abilities, but may also inherit money or property. Yon will be likely to have many important gifts and honours bestowed on you. If you were born on February 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ or 20ᵗʰ, you will have many difficulties and restrictions in finance in your early years, unless you happen to be born in good circumstances. But in the end you will be bound to succeed by your own mental talents, especially those in the domain of inventions, or in relation to the artistic world. If you should happen to get into something very promising in some investment under your own control, all will be well, but your danger will be, if you are in some profession, that money will not stick in your hands and that you will not make enough provision for your advanced years. If born on February 29ᵗʰ, in a “leap year,” coming into the Sign of Pisces, you will have less restrictions and be more fortunate in early life. HEALTH In matters of health you will have little to complain about. You will have a good constitution for your background and will be likely to form a set of rules on “the simple life” order, that will give you a promise of living to an advanced age. Your “lucky” colours and jewels remain the same as given for persons born on the same dates in January, but you need no longer fear the influence of the “Number eight” being as fatalistic in your affairs. But this number, together with the “four” and all their series, should still be guarded against or avoided as much as possible. CHAPTER XIII FEBRUARY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ For those born on February 20ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ, being born on the “cusp” of Pisces, the House of Jupiter (Negative) their most important numbers will be the two, seven and three and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, and the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ and 70ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a two and seven in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. * Joseph Jefferson, one of the greatest actors on the American stage, came often to see me. He wrote in my Visitors’ Book: “‘Cheiro,’ I am called superstitious – I think I am - and I am glad of it. Credulity at least finds out something — incredulity nothing. _J. Jefferson ** I knew William Terriss very intimately. Before I made his acquaintance, under an assumed name he sent me impressions of his hands. From these had predicted a violent death. This did not worry him in the slightest. He called on me and told me that all his life he had had a presentiment that such would be his fate. On December 16ᵗʰ, 1897, he was stabbed to death by a jealous actor as he entered the stage door of the Adelphi Theatre, London. CHAPTER XIV FEBRUARY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ Persons born on February 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ. Number 3 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Jupiter and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. If you were born on February 3ʳᵈ or 12ᵗʰ, you will have the same qualities as described for persons born on similar birthdates in January, but as you now come under the rulership of Saturn (Negative) you will have much more favourable conditions under which to carry out the Jupiter qualities of your Birth Number. These qualities are, in brief: Strong will, determination of purpose, a very decided talent for organisation particularly in public matters, government departments or politics. The quieting, sobering influence of Saturn, when negative or mental, is one of the finest influences to a Jupiter person born under the Sign of Aquarius. No better example of this could be found than in the character of Abraham Lincoln, born on the 12ᵗʰ of February. If you were born on February 21ˢᵗ, being already in the “cusp” of the in-coming Sign of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter, (Negative), you will feel the good influences of this favourable planet and will be under better material auspices than if born earlier in this month. As the 21ˢᵗ of February is a Jupiter number (3), and you are born at the commencement of the “cusp” of Jupiter, you should allow your ambitions to have full rein with every promise of being successful. All work leading to responsibility and authority over others is decidedly favourable to you, no matter what that work may be. CHAPTER XIV FEBRUARY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ There is no career in which you cannot succeed, provided your ambition is aroused. As Jupiter is termed Negative in this position, your ambition will be more mental than physical. This means that although fitted for positions of authority over others, you may shrink from what might be called the “physical contact.” In that case, you will be likely to organise large undertakings and yet not receive the public approval that may fall to others. In any case, no matter what the viewpoint mentally is that you may take, persons born on February 21ˢᵗ have every reason to expect success. FINANCE If you were born on February 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ or 21ˢᵗ, you may expect to gain more than usual success and position from whatever line of work you may take up, but more especially so if born on the 12ᵗʰ or 21ˢᵗ. As this is very much one of the mental Signs of the Zodiac, it will all depend on what you set your mind to accomplish. You will meet at times, however, with heavy losses in money, in spite of whatever prudence you may use. HEALTH In matters of health you will run nervous exhaustion from overwork, neuritis and sciatica, inflammation hardening of the blood vessels and high blood pressure. a danger of a liability for of the liver, arteries, and You should reduce nervous tension as much as possible, live on a simple diet and get plenty of sleep. Your most important numbers are the “three” and “eight” and all their series, such as the 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26 and 30. CHAPTER XIV FEBRUARY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ As you were born in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius ruled by Saturn (Negative) owing to the declining influence of this planet you will be more fortunate than if born on the same dates in January. You will, however, still attract the influences of the numbers “four” and “eight,” and all their series, also persons born on these dates, such as on the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. The jewels and colours are the same as for other number “three people, “namely, all shades of violet, mauve and violet-purple. The “lucky” jewel is the amethyst, and all purple coloured stones. Your most important or climacteric years of life are the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 57ᵗʰ, 66ᵗʰ, 75ᵗʰ. You will find strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “three” in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ and such persons should have a favourable influence in your life and career. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ Persons born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ. Number 4 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates in February, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Uranus, the Sun with Saturn (Negative) in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. As the Sun (1) is always linked in this study with Uranus (4) and written as one hyphen four (1-4), so when Uranus is the principal, as in this case, it is written as four hyphen one (4 -1). As Saturn, although now in its negative House, is still the Ruler of this part of the Zodiac, until February 19ᵗʰ, if you were born on the above dates you will remain under its influence. Your important numbers are, therefore, four, one and eight and all their series, such as 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 17, 19, 22, 26, 28 and 31. The qualities and characteristics of persons born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ and 22ⁿᵈ, are so similar to those given for these numbers in January that I need not repeat them again, except to emphasize that, as you are now under Saturn Negative and not Saturn Positive, you are less under the restricting influences of this planet, and consequently should be able to make more out of your life. At the same time I must warn you to continue to avoid, as much as possible, using the numbers “four” and “eight” and not make plans or engagements that come under these numbers or any of their series, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ,17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ The best numbers and dates for you are the Sun Numbers — 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ, with the interchangeable Moon Numbers — 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ.If you were born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ or 22ⁿᵈ you will be very original in your views and unconventional in your actions. You will lean mentally towards “new thought” in all its phases. New philosophies or new religions will appeal very strongly to you, also new methods and independence of thought and action. You are likely to be classed, by your fellow mortals, as odd, peculiar and “individual.” For this reason, you will not, as it were, easily “fit in” with the ideas of those you meet with in ordinary life. This is accentuated by your being under the influence of Saturn (Negative), which, although negative, must now be considered as more affecting the mental side of your nature. Consequently, although to a great measure escaping what may be described as the more fatalistic influence of the Saturn vibrations, you will be inclined to be tinged with its melancholy, philosophic quality, which together with your own Uranian peculiarities, tends to increase your sensitiveness and will often make you shrink from personal contact with others. Children born on these dates, and in fact, all born on days that make the number “four” and “eight,” especially in both January and up to February 22ⁿᵈ, should be treated with great consideration and sympathy, any rough treatment or harshness being absolutely wrong for their mental development. Such minds are so sensitive that they feel everything acutely. Being peculiarly secretive, and undemonstrative, they are unable to express themselves and are easily misunderstood. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ So much is this the case that I have often found persons born under the “fours” and “eights” of any month, but more especially those in January and up to February 22ⁿᵈ, accused of things they have never committed. I have known many persons born under these numbers or dates falsely accused at the bar of Justice and seen even ordinary rights denied them. The 22ⁿᵈ of February, being the commencement of the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter, is, as a rule, more fortunate than the other “number four” persons born in February. Persons born on the 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ and 22ⁿᵈ of February, have few numbers that are favourable for them, in fact only the numbers of the Sun, the “one” and its series, (for the interchangeable number “two” of the Moon being feminine in quality is not powerful), I strongly recommend all those born under the numbers of fours and eights to so alter their name to produce a stronger combination, such as the numbers of 1, 3 or 6. (Full instructions as how to alter the name number may be found in "Cheiro's Book of Numbers" which can be obtained from all booksellers.) The jewels and colours for persons born on February 4ᵗʰ or 13ᵗʰ remain the same as those given to persons under the same dates in January. We will now consider February 22ⁿᵈ. This “number four,” being already in the “cusp” of Pisces, comes more under the rulership of Jupiter (Negative).The influence of Saturn at this date is passing away, but Jupiter in this part of the Zodiac relates more to the mental than physical side of things. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ We consequently find persons born on February 22ⁿᵈ developing all those qualities of mind that belong to the higher side of the Jupiter character, linked with the Uranian of the “number four.” Here, Uranus is free to carry out its independent views, its dislike of convention, its “new thought,” its rebellion against old forms of statecraft or government. At the same time, the Jupiter influence changes “the rebel” into a conqueror. He uses “new ideas” to fight with, the inventive qualities of Uranus he turns to good account He may deplore the carnage and slaughter of War, but the “new” cannot be born without pain. When the battle is over he will treat his enemy with magnanimity — the Jupiter quality would not allow him to act otherwise — Uranus has brought “the new,” a “new state” into being, but under the combinations of Uranus, the Sun and Jupiter, whatever it would be, it would have an unusual and unconventional beginning. George Washington, the first President of the United States, born February 22ⁿᵈ is a remarkable example of the above combination. FINANCE If born on any one of these dates in February, financial matters will not appeal to you as much as they do to the average person. You will be inclined to gain money in unusual ways and also to lose it in equally unusual ways. By employing extra prudence and caution, you may be able to protect yourself to a certain degree, but you will always have to be on your guard against swindlers and “get-rich-quick” schemes. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ HEALTH In your case health will always be a question of “mind over matter." As long as you are in a happy frame of thought and interested in whatever work you are doing, you will keep well and disease will not attack you. If, however, you allow yourself to feed on gloomy thoughts, you will never feel fit or well and would be liable to bring on a form of nervous disorders of the digestive tract very difficult to cure. The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ,13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ and 76ᵗʰ. Persons born under the influence of February 22ⁿᵈ generally meet with considerable opposition to their views or plans. They are inclined to be much misunderstood; they live “in themselves” as it were. They are not demonstrative and are not willing or ready to express themselves in words. They are more organisers than orators. They care little for conventionalities or for the opinion of others. They have a philosophical trend in their way of looking at life. If you were born on any one of these dates in February, you will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on days making a one, four, or eight in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XV FEBRUARY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ Lord Randolph Churchill showed considerable interest in my System of Numbers. Before he met me he attributed many adverse events to the fact that he was born on the 13ᵗʰ of a month. I was, however, able to assure him that this date had no other significance than that of being a “number four” under the vibrations of Uranus and the Sun in the House of Saturn (Negative). CHAPTER XVI FEBRUARY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Persons born on February 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. Number 5 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mercury, with Saturn (Negative), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. The combination of Mercury and Saturn in this period, is good to be born under, as the qualities of Mercury are influenced by the conscientious painstaking nature of Saturn and is excellent for mental development. If born on February 23ʳᵈ being in the “cusp" of the incoming Sign of Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, you will be very dominant and independent in your character, and care little whether the world appreciates your work or not. All these dates in February produce a keenly critical frame of mind. They give a penetrating knowledge of human nature, with a curiously strong influence over others. Such persons have a remarkable power of “the eye,” easily subduing excitable people and compelling them to listen to reason and logic. As doctors they have an almost uncanny power of diagnosis. They are great readers, rapidly absorbing what they read or hear, with retentive memories which they draw upon when the occasion requires for the benefit of others. They love science and all proved facts. They are sceptical of theories and yet at heart are metaphysically inclined. They are not seekers for wealth or position, but at the same time are extremely ambitious that their work should become recognised. CHAPTER XVI FEBRUARY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Although very self-contained, they deeply appreciate encouragement and will do almost anything for a few words of praise or kindness. If disappointed in their ambitions they easily become morbid and melancholy. FINANCE As regards money matters, persons born on these dates in February are excellent in giving advice to others on financial questions, but rarely can follow it for themselves. They often nuke money and become wealthy by the work of their brains, but they seldom can hold on to it or make much provision for their old age. If you were born on any one of these dates, I would strongly advise you not to go in for any speculative business, but to only risk investments in such things that would be under your own control. People will always be ready to take from you, but to give you as little as possible in return. HEALTH As a general rule you will be healthy and full of energy, but in periods liable to complaints of the liver, spleen, kidneys and bladder. There is one set of people born on these dates in February who, if born with money, ruin their constitutions by their craving for strong drink, drugs and extravagant living. These persons are easily recognized by their lack of purpose, restlessness and extreme irritability. If you were born on February 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ, your best numbers are the series of “fives” and dates such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ in any month of the year, but more especially so during February, June and September. For favourable colours you should wear all light shades, especially white or glistening materials. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds and white glittering stones of all kinds. CHAPTER XVI FEBRUARY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 32ⁿᵈ, 41ˢᵗ, 50ᵗʰ, 59ᵗʰ, 68ᵗʰ and 77ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “five” in any month of the year. CHAPTER XVII FEBRUARY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Persons born on February 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ. Number 6 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus, with Saturn (Negative) in the Sign of Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. Persons born on February 6ᵗʰ or 15ᵗʰ come under the vibrations of Venus, with Saturn (Negative), while those born on February 24ᵗʰ, being in the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Pisces, respond to the influences of Venus and Jupiter. For February 6ᵗʰ and 15ᵗʰ, the Venus quality being more or less dominated by Saturn, we get natures where love and affection mean everything to them, and are yet inclined to be “unlucky” in such matters, chiefly on account of the intensity and “single track” quality of their minds. Either out of blind trust, or extreme devotion to those they love, they are inclined to give everything they possess to those they care for, whether they are proved to be worthless or otherwise. If, by chance, they do find someone who can appreciate their noble devotion, there is still generally some heavy cross for them to bear. In any case they seldom get the satisfaction in love that they demand. Very often they either marry beneath their social status, or someone that mentally is their inferior. CHAPTER XVII FEBRUARY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Some of the most wonderful examples of love and self-sacrifice I have come across have been born on those dates in February, but in all cases the desire for love has been the dominant chord in their lives. As a general rule, all the “number six” people born in February have a natural artistic sense. They do well and make a name for themselves in any career that may bring them before the public. In such cases they attract love and affection from the masses and they “love their public. They care little for the money their art may bring add for that reason they are always tempted to do things on a large scale and in consequence even the most gifted under this planetary combination in February quite often die poor. An example may be drawn from the life of Sir Henry Irving. There was probably no man who so lived for his public or one who loved his public more. He was born on February 6ᵗʰ and yet, with all his success and fame, died a very poor man. He craved for love and affection which he got from the masses, but his own private life was a tragedy in that respect. If you were born on the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ of February, you will be much attracted to social life of all kinds. You have the faculty of making friends easily wherever you go and forming acquaintances with strangers. You will be adored by inferiors and those who take orders and at the same time you will attract to you persons of high rank, position and wealth. CHAPTER XVII FEBRUARY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ You will be fond of romantic unusual episodes, will have much influence over your opposite sex, yet have the curious contradiction of being ready to throw aside pleasure for the “call of duty” or for some cause that enlists your support. You will be a kind of “hero to yourself,” always following an idealistic dream, or some star that leads you onward through the early nights of hardships and disappointments. And yet you will succeed — of that you need not have a moment’s doubt. At times you will risk the impossible, feeling in your own heart that to you all things are possible. Your natural tendency, unless you have an exceptionally strong will, is to love luxury and extravagance and in consequence to run into debt. As a rule, however, you will be under such a good planetary combination that you will find people willing to come to your assistance and help you out of any hole that your natural generosity has brought you into. FINANCE Once your early years are over you will begin to feel the tide of luck running in your favour. You will be likely to do many foolish things in finance and go into many “wild-cat” schemes and yet fall on your feet. You will be likely to gain by public enterprises or to be backed up by the public. You would do well as a company promoter and create a large following for schemes born in your brain. There will, however, always be the danger of overreaching yourself and meeting at times with heavy financial loss. CHAPTER XVII FEBRUARY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ HEALTH You will be endowed with a healthy physical body, have little anxiety about illness, inclined to run risks of exposure to changing climatic conditions and bring danger to yourself by not thinking enough about your own health. The weakest part of your system will be a likelihood of pneumonia, trouble with the bronchial tubes and lungs and over wrought nervous tension. Your “lucky” number is the “six” and any of its series, and dates such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, or 24ᵗʰ would be the best for you to choose for any important matter. Your most favourable colours are: All shades of blue from the darkest to the lightest. If born on February 24ᵗʰ, you may also use all shades of violet, mauve or violet-purple. The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 42ⁿᵈ, 51ˢᵗ, 60ᵗʰ, 78ᵗʰ and 87ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “six” in any month of the year, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ. *Sir Henry Irving, often came to consult me during the height of his popularity, but he never could bring himself to believe that he would die a poor man. CHAPTER XVII FEBRUARY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ **Ramon Novarro, the famous motion picture star, consulted me in Hollywood. Before leaving he wrote in my Visitors’ Book: “To ‘Cheiro,’ with sincere gratitude for having given me back the courage needed to keep on. _Ramon Novarro, Nov. 9ᵗʰ, 1931.” ***I have related in my recently published Memoirs of an interesting dinner I had with Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, and Pretender to the Throne of France on board his yacht when we discussed occultism and my System of Numbers together. The Duke was born on February 6ᵗʰ, 1869, a date making the “six” and its series of great importance in his life. He was exiled from France in the year 1887, which, when added produces for its final digit the “six.” He married the Archduchess Maria of Austria in 1896, again making the “number six.” He received an appointment in the English Regiment the 60ᵗʰ Rifles, which was again a “six,” as the zero does not count, and so on during the run of his life. ****I have also related in my Memoirs an amusing experience I had with Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic Explorer, who came disguised as an Opera singer when he kept his appointment. Born on February 15ᵗʰ, the “number six” held sway over his destiny, even to his sailing on his last ill-fated expedition in 1914, which year again totals to the single number of six. CHAPTER XVIII FEBRUARY 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Persons born on February 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ. Number 7 people in this month. If you were born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of February, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the numbers “seven” and “two,” and “four” and “eight,” represented in Astrology by the planets Neptune (7), Moon (2), Uranus (4) and Saturn (8) in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. If born on the 7ᵗʰ or 16ᵗʰ, you will be very different in nature from persons born on February 25ᵗʰ for the reason that those on the latter date, being born past the “cusp” of February 19ᵗʰ, come under the influence of the incoming Sign of Pisces, ruled by Jupiter (Negative) and consequently have less of the restrictive influence of Saturn in their lives. If you were born on the 7ᵗʰ or 16ᵗʰ of February you will have a peculiarly sensitive, highly strung nature. You will find it extremely difficult to find your true bent or career, and may pass your entire life searching for it. If, however, you do find some purpose to occupy your attention, you will cling to it with great obstinacy and determination. Being extremely sensitive to your surroundings and the vibrations of others, you should be most careful where you live, or with whom you come in contact. You are likely to be gifted with some unusual quality of imagination, ideality and romance. CHAPTER XVIII FEBRUARY 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ If “the call” does come, if you are born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of February, you will make any sacrifice or face any hardships to do what you consider your duty. You will act on the same lines if you devote your attention to art in any form. It will always be the purpose or object that will attract you more than your own personal gain. You will at times be instinctively drawn towards investigating unusual phenomena, such as telepathy, occultism, spiritualism, magnetism, astronomy or astrology. You will be inclined to study “mind” in any of its manifestations and, in consequence, will often be taken to task for having “queer friends.” You will have an unusual sympathy for persons who are mentally unbalanced, and may often deplete your own resources to aid those you love, also institutions in their good work. If you were born on the 7ᵗʰ or 16ᵗʰ of February, you will have what might be termed a natural intuition about people, but may seldom be able to give any logical reason for your likes and dislikes. In the same way you will seem to absorb knowledge about things, but not by ordinary study. If born on the 25ᵗʰ of February, although also coming under the influence of the numbers “seven" and “two,” you will be very different from persons born on the dates previously described. The 25ᵗʰ of February, being half way through the “cusp" of Pisces, comes under the influence of the Jupiter vibration, and as a rule, persons born under it make much out of their lives. They are intensely conscientious over any work they are engaged in quite irrespective of financial gain. CHAPTER XVIII FEBRUARY 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ All “number seven" persons born in February become noted for the original way in which they regard both life itself and whatever the work may be that has engrossed their attention. They love reading and often excel in literary work, and as artists before the public. They develop peculiar ideas about religion and cannot follow any old established form. They are not irreligious for they are deeply imbued with its mystery and influence over the masses, but at the same time they appear to resent dogma in all its forms. FINANCE Persons born on these dates in February are not sufficiently worldly to care much about material gain. They are seldom lucky in finance and generally meet with loss in any form of speculation. Money passes through their hands easily on account of their generous nature and their desire to be of help to others. If you were born on February 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ, I can only advise you to be satisfied with small returns on such things at Government Bonds, etc., to avoid speculative schemes and all forms of gambling. HEALTH Persons born on these dates in February have often very peculiar experiences as regards health. They generally pass through a good deal of delicacy in their early life and are usually much experimented on by doctors to whom they are always more or less a puzzle. They are themselves ready to try various kinds of “cure-all” remedies and waste money on such things. They have often some mysterious form of “stomach trouble” and are peculiar in their diet and choice of food. They are over-sensitive to the vibrations of others, that they are often ill from being in the company of someone to whom they feel antipathy. CHAPTER XVIII FEBRUARY 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Persons born on February 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ and 25ᵗʰ, should avoid drugs and medicines as much as possible. Plenty of fresh water, sleep and a simple diet will set them on their feet more quickly than all the “specialists” in the world. If born on one of these dates in February, your important numbers, colours and jewels will be the same as those described for those born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of January, but with this difference: If born on February 25ᵗʰ, you will have for your secondary colours all shades of mauve, violet and purple-violet. If you were born on February 25ᵗʰ you should endeavour at all costs to take up some special form of work as much out of the beaten tracks as possible. Being so much on the mental plane you are likely to meet with deception and cruel treatment from those who devote their lives to material advancement or who make a god of gold. Your important numbers are the seven hyphen two (7-2) and all their series. You should endeavour to carry out your plans, or do anything important for yourself on dates making these numbers, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. You should be extremely careful of doing anything important on dates making “fours” or "eights,” such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. Your favourable colours are all shades of green, creams, whites and dove-greys. CHAPTER XVIII FEBRUARY 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61st, 65ᵗʰ, 70ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “seven” or “two” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Also persons born on “ones” and “fours,” such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ of any month. *Camille Flammarion, the great French astronomer, had me several times to dine with him and Madame Flammarion, in his house in Paris, also to view the stars through his famous telescope in the Observatory at Juvisy. Although an astronomer, he was equally interested in the older science of Astrology. CHAPTER XIX FEBRUARY 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ Persons born on February 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ. Number 8 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn (Negative) and Uranus in the Sign of Aquarius. Third House of the Triplicity of Air. If born on February 26ᵗʰ, being so far advanced in the “cusp” of the in-coming Sign of Pisces ruled by Jupiter, you will come under the influence of the latter planet as well as that of Saturn (Negative) and Uranus. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. The influence of Saturn (Negative) in this period of the year lasts up to February 19ᵗʰ, when the “cusp” of Pisces commences, but the influence of the incoming Sign does not come into its full power for seven days - namely until on or about February 26ᵗʰ. If you were born on February 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ you will have a very decidedly marked personality of your own, together with a life that will stand out among your fellows. You will be a deep thinker, no matter what your career may be, but one with a philosophical turn of mind. Very peculiar circumstances and opportunities will come into your life without your seeking them, also a strangely fatalistic current of affairs will sweep you into positions of responsibility, even without your seeking. CHAPTER XIX FEBRUARY 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ If born on February 26ᵗʰ the Jupiter influence will be likely to bring you greater success from a material standpoint, but all persons born under the influence of the “number eight” may expect sooner or later to be attacked by underhand enemies and to be the victims of calumny, scandal and hostile criticism. Unless born “into money” the early years of such persons will be hard and difficult and will not give the promise of success that the latter yean bring into being. If you were born on any of these dates in February you may expect to meet severe trials and sorrows through your affections and in your home life. Separation, illness or death is likely to play a strangely fatalistic role with those near and dear to you. Marriage will bring you some unusual experience out of the ordinary and should there be children they will cause you grief or serious anxiety. You will have more satisfaction mentally than materially. You will be likely to gain money, become rich or hold some powerful position, but for all such things you will be liable to pay too high a price. FINANCE Persons born on February 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ, can always make money, provided they apply themselves to that one purpose. This especially is the case for those born on February 26ᵗʰ. They will, however, be liable to lose money by actions caused by their opposite sex, or by litigation and by blackmail. HEALTH Persons born on these dates in February give the appearance of being more healthy than they really are. They get little or no warning about illness, they often suddenly collapse from heart failure or a clot of blood on the brain. CHAPTER XIX FEBRUARY 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ Numbers appear to have an important bearing on the lives of persons born on dates making ‘'fours” and “eights" in the month of February. The reason the four and its series, such as 4, 13 and 22, has such influence in this month, is because it is under the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius and is not only the House of Saturn, Negative, but it is at the same time the House of the planet Uranus (4) and also its “exaltation." When we come to consider people born on the 26ᵗʰ of February, this being the “cusp" of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter (3), the vibrations change to those of eight and three, which enables persons born on February 26ᵗʰ to be more the master of their own destiny than those born on the same date in January or on February 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ. Persons born on the 26ᵗʰ of February, having the Jupiter influence at their back, if I may be allowed to put it this way, will find themselves less restricted by circumstances, surroundings or family ties, and more free to carry out whatever their ambitions may be. As a general rule all the “number eight” people, no matter what month they may be born in, have most decidedly marked characteristics of their own. They are either great successes or great failures. Things are inclined to go to extremes for them one way or another. They either play a great role on Life’s Stage, for good or evil, or remain as “souls in prison,” unable to break free. In all cases, “number eight” people, and especially those born on this number in January and February, may be expected to lead unusual lives. It is this very law governing them, whether it is due to Fate or their own temperament, that they should endeavour to harness into whatever their purpose may be. CHAPTER XIX FEBRUARY 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ If you are born on any of these dates such as the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ of February, your name is likely to go down to posterity for something unusual in your life or career. It may not be given to you to be extremely happy in your home life or immediate surroundings, but you will stand out as “a personality” whenever you may live. You may make money by whatever work you may go in for, but the chances are, it will be taken from you by people or circumstances, and you should be advised to make provision for your old age. You should not engage in speculation of any kind, not because of bad judgment on your part, but simply for the reason, that conditions or circumstances over which you have little or no control are likely to crop up and rob you of financial certainty. Your most important numbers are “fours” and "eights” and all their series, such as the 4, 8, 13. 17. 22, 26 and 31. If born on February 26ᵗʰ the “three" and its series will play an important role and would be more fortunate for you to use than the “fours” and “eights.” Dates made by the “number three” would also be more lucky for you, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. The most favourable colours for you are the odd shades of blue of the sapphire order and all dark colours, except reds. Your “lucky” jewels are the sapphire, black pearl and black diamond. CHAPTER XIX FEBRUARY 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 67ᵗʰ, 71ˢᵗ, 76ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “four” or "eight" in any month of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. But as a general rule those born on these dates will bring their troubles and sorrows on to your shoulders. CHAPTER XX FEBRUARY 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Persons born on February 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ. Number 9 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates in February, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars with Saturn (Negative), but if born on the 27ᵗʰ, as you are already in the commencement of the Sign of Pisces, you come under the influence of Mars with Jupiter (Negative). The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in February. The nearer these “number nine” persons are born to the “cusp” of February19ᵗʰ, the more decided will their individuality become. Consequently, one may expect more from those born on February 18ᵗʰ than from those born on February 9ᵗʰ. The 27ᵗʰ of February, being at the farther end of the "cusp" comes under the influence of the vibrations of Mars and Jupiter. As a general rule this is a fortunate combination, for Jupiter, being negative in this part of the Zodiac gives rest and ambition to the mental qualities, and Mars untiring energy in whatever line of work they set out to achieve. Persons born on the 27ᵗʰ of February generally make "a name for them. Joseph Renan, born February 27ᵗʰ, celebrated “free thinker” and writer who caused such a furore by his “Life of Christ," is a good example of the independence of character and marked individuality that may be expected from a person born on this date. CHAPTER XX FEBRUARY 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Ellen Terry, the famous actress, also born on February 27ᵗʰ, had such a decidedly outstanding personality that no matter what role she played, or how beautifully she played it — she was always Ellen Terry. This quality of individuality is very similar for those born on February Wilson Barrett, the celebrated actor, whom I knew intimately, it also a good example. He was born on February 18ᵗʰ. In spite of his small stature he dominated every person on the stage the moment he appeared. All number nine persons born in February, such as on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ, will exhibit similar mental characteristics as those I gave for persons on the same birth number in January, only their tendencies will be more mental than otherwise. They will also appear to be more “Masters of their Fate" and not so much subject to the “ups and downs" and reversals of fortune that so often happen to persons born on the same numbers in January. If you were born on February 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ, you will exhibit marked independence in thought and action, also strong will for any cause you may espouse or for any person you may consider badly treated. You will stamp everything you do with your own distinct personality. You will have good reasoning powers, very convincing and forcible in debate, ability to see both sides of an argument and quick to seize on any weak point left open by your opponent. You may be criticised for being too frank and impulsive in speech, headstrong and determined to have your own way, but you will win people over to your side by your magnetic personality. CHAPTER XX FEBRUARY 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ At heart you will be a humanitarian, always ready to devote yourself for the benefit of others, or to play a role in social reform. Your nature will make for you many enemies and cause considerable opposition to crop up against you. You will be good as an organiser, so long as the work lies on large lines, very generous to those under you and watchful of their interests. There are many sides of activity in which you would find recognition, from the feeding of an army to the development of an industry. All would fit in naturally with you, but in whatever you do, the call of the public will be preeminent. FINANCE Under certain conditions you would be fortunate in financial matters, but a surprise to others in the way you would make use of your wealth. It is quite likely you may in some unconventional way get rid of it before the end comes, or tie it up in some trust fund for some cause or unusual charity. HEALTH In matters of health you have not much to fear. You will think of it as little as possible and perhaps for that very reason, escape the usual ills that all are heir to. You should, however, pay attention to the lungs and heart. Your most important numbers will belong to the “nine" and all its series, and your best dates for any decided effort of your own will be the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ of any month of the year. Your most favourable colours will be those of your planet Mars, all shades of crimson, reds and rose. Your “lucky" jewels are the ruby, garnet and all red stones. CHAPTER XX FEBRUARY 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ If born on February 27ᵗʰ, under the Jupiter vibrations, you can use as your secondary colours all shades of mauve, violet or violet-purple. For the same reason, you can wear the amethyst (the jewel of Jupiter) as well as the garnet, ruby or bloodstone (jewels of Mars). The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 72ⁿᵈ and 81ˢᵗ. If you were born on either the 9ᵗʰ or 13ᵗʰ of February you will be attracted or influenced by persons born on the series of “eight” and “nine;” if born on February 27ᵗʰ, you will be attracted by persons born on the series of “three” and “nine,” in any month of the year. MARCH MARCH March 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ March 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ March 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ March 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ March 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ March 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ March 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ March 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ March 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ "By measure hath he measured the times and by number hath he numbered them, and He doth not stir, nor move them until the said measure be fulfilled." _SECOND BOOK of Esdras, CHAP. IV, v. 37. CHAPTER XXI MARCH MARCH The zodiacal influence for the month of March in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year. The Zodiacal Sign of Pisces commences on February 19ᵗʰ, but for seven days, being overlapped by the “cusp” of the previous Sign, it does not come into full power until about February 26ᵗʰ. From this date onwards it is in full strength up to March 21ˢᵗ, when it meets the commencement of the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Aries. People born in this part of the year, namely from February 19ᵗʰ to March 21ˢᵗ and in the “cusp" to March 28ᵗʰ, possess an innate “natural understanding” and intuition. They absorb knowledge easily, especially of the history of countries and people, and as well all matters relating to travel, exploitation of lands, research, exploration and such like things. They are more mentally ambitious than they appear to lie in the ordinary way, but they feel they must know their subject thoroughly before they speak or write about it. They have great loyalty to friends or to any cause they take up, provided they feel they are trusted or looked up to. They are generally successful in all positions of responsibility, but at the same time are not inclined to push themselves forward and usually “wait to be asked” before giving their opinions. They are great respecters of “law and order” and uphold the conventions of whatever social order in which they may be found. CHAPTER XXI MARCH The strongest and weakest characters are found in this Sign. Some are inclined to gratify their innate sense of luxury and self-indulgence, and if this side of the nature is the one that controls, they are likely to be too easygoing, to be too receptive to their surroundings, to become influenced by false friends, to give way to fraudulent schemes and in some cases are inclined to become addicted to drugs or drink. If, however, persons born in this part of the year find some purpose worth living for, they rise to the emergency as few others can. These are the people that one meets sometimes in life who surprise their friends by their sudden change of character. They can, in a moment, throw off any form of weakness or self-indulgence and rise to any height of self-denial. All persons born in this part of the year have a dual element as the mainspring of their nature. It simply depends on which of the two roads they have decided to follow. Persons born in this Sign are highly emotional. If they belong to the weak tide of it, they are easily influenced by the people with whom they are thrown in contact, but if they belong to the stronger side, their emotional nature can lift them up to any position. They are generally fond of travel, of the ocean and large expanses of water. If circumstances do not permit them to travel, they will if they possibly can, make their homes where they can see the ocean or live on the side of some lake or river. In business they are good in dealing with transportation, trade with foreign countries, imports and exports or seaborne commerce of any description. CHAPTER XXI MARCH Almost all have a curiously mystical side to their nature, as well as the practical. They are often classed as superstitious, the occult in all its forms appealing to them in one way or another. They love to search out or investigate the unknown, the philosophical or the mysterious. Although by nature generous, they have at heart a curious dread of poverty and for that reason do not allow their generous instincts to get the better of them unless they are under the influence of someone they love. In such a case they become easily influenced and are likely to give away all they possess. Money has no value in their eyes. It is something to be used, or as a means to an end and nothing more. HEALTH In health their greatest danger is more mental than physical; worry breaks down persons in this Sign more easily than those born in other parts of the year. Through being over-anxious they often bring on despondency and melancholy which impairs the digestive organs, inclining them to nervous disorders and in many cases to paralysis. The lungs are also likely to be delicate; they are more inclined to get attacks of consumption than any other class. The skin of the body exudes perspiration easily, especially the hands and feet. Growths and tumours in the intestines are also typical diseases of this Sign. FINANCE From February 19ᵗʰ to March 1ˢᵗ the Sun is entering into the Sign of Pisces whose ruler is Jupiter (Negative). From February 19ᵗʰ the influence of Saturn is dying out and every day to March 21ˢᵗ the influence of Jupiter is increasing and becoming more beneficial. CHAPTER XXI MARCH Persons born between February 19ᵗʰ to March 21ˢᵗ appear to be able to make a great deal out of their lives provided their ambition it awakened. We must, however, bear in mind that as the influence of Jupiter in this part of the year is in its negative House in the Zodiac, it is more the mental side of the ambitions that are called into being. Persons born in this period will consequently be more ambitious mentally than physically. They will dream great dreams of what they want or expect themselves to be and often lack the continuity of purpose or physical effort to achieve their results. It is, in consequence, what might be called an uncertain Sign for finance and many “ups and downs” of fortune will threaten persons born in this period unless they have schooled themselves to follow out their ambitions to a climax. If persons born in this period of the year have mastered their natural inclination towards lack of continuity of purpose there is no position in life they may not attain for great opportunities will be given them from time to time. They will, however, be more or less careless in money matters and not inclined to save up for a “rainy day.” They are often found to "waste their substance” and face poverty and loss of position in their advancing years. If they have been lucky enough to have been born on what may be described as “a strong date” in this period of the year, then all is well and they will be likely to carry out their dreams whether they relate to position or finance. CHAPTER XXI MARCH MARRIAGE, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, ETC. If you were born between February 19ᵗʰ to March 20ᵗʰ, you will find your most harmonious relationships with persons born in your own Sign of Pisces, Third House of Water, February 19ᵗʰ to March 20ᵗʰ. June 21ˢᵗ to July 20ᵗʰ, Cancer, First House of Water, or October 21ˢᵗ to November 20ᵗʰ, Scorpio, Second House of Water, and in the seven days of the “cusp” at the beginning or ending of each of these periods. You are also likely to be attracted to persons born in the part of the year opposite to your own. CHAPTER XXII MARCH 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Persons born on March 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ. Number 1 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and ray system of Chaldean Numerology, you come underthe vibrations of the Sun and Uranus in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter (Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in March, but the Sun and Uranus will make your life an eventful one and bring you much publicity. The planet Uranus takes eighty-four years to make one revolution of the Zodiac. It forms a beneficial aspect to the Sun, as near as can be calculated, every fourteen years. It has a very powerful influence on persons born on the above dates in the House of Jupiter. If you were born on one of these dates no matter what your age may be, you come under a very important cycle of this planet starting during 1927 and lasting until about October of 1941. This period would bring great changes in your life and plans, causing removals from place to place, likely long journeys and a drastic change in your method of living, which in the end should turn out in your favour. Your nature under this influence of Uranus and the Sun will make you psychic and intuitive. It would consequently be well for you to follow your intuitions in regard to the changes and opportunities likely to occur during this period. It may, however, bring you much anxiety over money matters at the commencement, but the chances will be in your favour that things will turn out well. CHAPTER XXII MARCH 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ If born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of March, your career will be one of great possibilities. You will be enterprising and original in whatever you will engage in, but inclined to be rather impetuous and headstrong in your actions. You should, as much as possible, develop patience and give yourself more time to think out your plans. You will incline to be over-optimistic, too hopeful, and rebel against delays or the difficulties that you will have to meet You will slowly and surely develop a sense of power and self-confidence, which may have been missing in the early years of your life, and it will be well for you to develop this feeling. Although you have a strong love of home and home-ties, you will often find yourself at variance with members of your family, and you will be liable to losses, owing to their actions. Taking things all round, you can look forward to having a very eventful life, but one that will bring you success and prominence in the world wherever you live or in whatever your career may be. The 28ᵗʰ of March, being the first “Number One” in the next Sign of Aries, House of Mars (Positive) gives a still more favourable promise of success than the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ or 19ᵗʰ of March. The Sun is in its “exaltation” in this part of the year. FINANCE If you were born on any series of the "number one” in March, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ, you will, as a rule, be fortunate in money matters. You will get unusual opportunities for success, especially in such things as being put into responsible positions in business and as the head of large enterprises. CHAPTER XXII MARCH 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ You will have considerable foresight and vision and should follow your own intuition in such matters. Your greatest difficulty will be in trying to “play second fiddle” to anyone above you. As long as you can be the chief, all will be well, but your nature will be such a dominate one that it will lie hard for you to get along in “double harness." As a rule, however, you will make money, but must expect many changes in whatever career you make your own. HEALTH You will be endowed with a strong constitution and great vitality which your natural tendency will lie to abuse and take “too much out of yourself.” As your Sun is in the mental House of Jupiter, you will be inclined to mentally overwork yourself in endeavouring to carry out whatever your ambition may be. You belong, however, to the “hopeful class of individuals” and can never be kept “under" for long. You will exhaust your nervous energy at times and “rundown” like a dynamo that has been overworked. Your most important numbers are the one hyphen four (1-4) and the “three.”Yon should concentrate your efforts to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers or any one of their series, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your clothing the colours of your planets, which are The Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, bronze to golden-brown. CHAPTER XXII MARCH 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Uranus: All shades of sapphire, dark blues and greys. Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauve or violetpurple. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds, topaz, amber and sapphire and all stones of gold or yellow colour, as well as those of a sapphire blue shade. The most important climacteric years in your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 50ᵗʰ, 57ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 66ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ, 75ᵗʰ and 76ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one” or “four” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ, also persons born in the series of the “three.” * Sir Blundell Maple, the founder of Maple & Co., London, one of England’s most remarkable business men, came often to consult me. He was especially interested in having me pick out for hire “lucky dates” on which his horses were likely to win. CHAPTER XXIII MARCH 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Persons born on March 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Number 2 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Moon and Neptune in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter( Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in March, but the Moon and Neptune will be inclined to increase the imaginative and artistic tendencies indicated. To make the best out of your talents you should develop your will power and determination and stick to someone set purpose and abandon everything else for it. If you do this, you will have every promise of success, but more especially so if you can follow your artistic instincts. Your nature being a peculiarly sensitive one to your surroundings, you should make every possible effort to get into harmonious conditions and you would find it better to have a small home of your own than to live in a palace with persons that jar on your nerves or discourage you. You will deeply appreciate beauty of scenery, effects of colour and harmony of sound. You will be restless mentally, particularly of the romantic poetic kind, and you should do extremely well in all artistic work, such as painting, music, the cinema or theatre, writing, or any form of art. You will be very receptive to psychic conditions and have decided gifts of inspiration, accompanied by dreams of an unusual order. Perhaps on account of your un-materialistic tendencies you will have a difficult time in your early years to make money. CHAPTER XXIII MARCH 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ If born on March 29ᵗʰ, this date being already in the next Sign of Aries, it will cause your life to be still more eventful. FINANCE Financial matters will be more or less uncertain. You will be inclined to make money in fits and starts, but you will seldom be able to keep a hold on it, unless you have deliberately developed caution and prudence. Your ideas will be inclined to be too large for your powers of execution and investments you make will not be liable to give you security or peace of mind. HFALTH In matters of health you will be a puzzle to all who know you. With you everything relating to illness is mental. If you are happy and contented you will be well. If in unhappy surroundings you will be ill and not all the medicine in the world will effect a cure. Your principal tendency is toward malnutrition, poorness of blood, bad circulation and a general weakness of the spine, lumbar region and kidneys, all depending on whether you are in a depressed mental condition or not. Your most important numbers are the “two,” representing the Moon; the “seven,” representing Neptune; and the “three,” representing Jupiter. You should make every effort to carry out your plans or engagements on dates that make these numbers or any of their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. If you were born on March 29ᵗʰ, the “nine” and its series take the place of the “three.” CHAPTER XXIII MARCH 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear or have in some part of your clothing, the colours of the Moon, Neptune and Jupiter, which are: The Moon: All shades of creams and pale greens. Neptune: All shades of dove-greys from the lightest to the darkest. Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauves and purpleviolet. If you were born on March 29ᵗʰ, the colours of Mars—crimson, red and rose—take the place of Jupiter colours. Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, pearls, moonstones and opals; also the amethyst. If born on March 29ᵗʰ use rubies, garnets and red stones in place of the amethyst. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 47ᵗʰ, 56ᵗʰ, 65ᵗʰ, 74ᵗʰ; 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 52ⁿᵈ, 61ˢᵗ, 70ᵗʰ; 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 57ᵗʰ and 66ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons making a “two” or “seven” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. Also those born on the one and four series, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XXIII MARCH 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ * One of the most remarkable interviews in my life was with Pope Leo XIII, perhaps the most outstanding personality of the Catholic Church. I was presented to His Holiness by Prince Marco di Colonna who informed me that the Pope desired to hear something from me on my special study of numbers. After the interview, which lasted over an hour, His Holiness sent for Cardinal Sarto whom he said was also interested in such matters, and who was destined to follow Pope Leo XIII three years later to fill the Throne of St. Peter. His Eminence the Cardinal became so interested in my work, that he gave me the privilege of studying in the famous Library of the Vatican as and when I pleased. CHAPTER XXIV MARCH 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Persons born on March 3rd, 12ᵗʰ, 21st, 30ᵗʰ. Number 3 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planet Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), and Third House of the Triplicity of Air. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in March, but coming so directly under the influence of Jupiter, the general indications will be favourable and promising. If born on one of the above dates you are under what is called a “double Jupiter" which, in this case, is a very powerful combination. It will give you never-tiring mental energy and great ambition. You will never rest until you have achieved your purpose. You will succeed in life to have control over others and have all the elements to make a distinct success in whatever career you may follow. You will be lucky with partners and associates, provided you are absolute head of the concern. You will be almost equally practical and idealistic at the same time, with great ideas of philanthropy and humanity to man. You will become interested in large institutions, such as schools, colleges, hospitals, and should you become wealthy, you will leave large sums to charities of all kinds. You will be always ready to help the sick, independent of creeds, and you may look forward to gaining honours in whatever community you may belong to. CHAPTER XXIV MARCH 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ You will be fortunate in associations with large concerns, especially those engaged in industry, mining, the opening up and development of land, transportation and possibly shipping. If you were born on March 30ᵗʰ, which represents Jupiter in the next Sign of Aries, it will be still more favourable for your success. If born on any of the dates making the “number three” in this period of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ, you will have a natural intuition about things and people which you should endeavour to be guided by in all your transactions. You will be hospitable, but unassuming in such matters. You will be fond of animals, out of door sports, and will develop great independence of character. FINANCE You will be ambitious to make money, but very careful of your name and reputation. You will gain by solid enterprises and have every likelihood of becoming wealthy. You will show an enterprising spirit in all you undertake and will rise to prominence and position in whatever your career may be. HEALTH This question largely depends on your own outlook on life. As long as you can continue in active work you will keep well and in a healthy condition. If forced for any reason into inactivity, you will become pleasure-loving and indolent, inclined to put on flesh and let the reins of life easily drop from your hands. You may not be so successful in home or married life, largely due to your being too dominant in character and not understanding the “other person’s” point of view. CHAPTER XXIV MARCH 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Your most important number is the “three” and all its series. You should try to carry out your plans and engagements on dates which make this number, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetic vibration and make yourself still more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your clothing, the colours of your planet, which are: All shades of violet, mauve to violet-purple. If born on March 30ᵗʰ, add Mars with its colours of crimson, reds and rose. Your “lucky" jewels are the amethyst, or stones with a violet or purple tinge, but March 30ᵗʰ adds the jewels of Mars — rubies, garnets and all red stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 57ᵗʰ, 66ᵗʰ and 75ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “three” in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ, also those born under the “sixes" and “nines," such as the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ in any month. CHAPTER XXV MARCH 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ Persons born on March 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ. Number 4 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come tinder the vibrations of Uranus, Jupiter and the Sun in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter (Negative), Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in March, but the influence of Uranus in this part of the year will be inclined to increase your unconventional or eccentric qualities. You are likely to meet a considerable amount of sorrows and afflictions in the earlier part of your life, difficulties with your relations, home life and relatives by marriage. People will be likely to take from you instead of giving to you, and you will have to rely on yourself in carrying out your plans. You will be original in your ideas and more or less unconventional in your views. You will be very independent in action and inclined to attract criticism in all you do. You will be strangely drawn to all mystical occult studies and psychical research, and should encounter unusual experiences in such things, but this side of your nature you will be inclined to keep to yourself. You should try to express your “soul nature” in art, literature and music, or in making purchases of antiques, paintings, etc. You will have visions, dreams, presentiments and keen intuition about people and things. CHAPTER XXV MARCH 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ You will be most prudent in all money transactions and should avoid rash speculation of all kinds. Your friends will be out of the ordinary. You will like very few persons and your desire will be to keep to yourself as much as possible. You will have a very earnest, but hidden leaning towards the investigation of unusual phenomena and psychical research, but will be more likely to employ others in such work then to go in (or it yourself. On account of your sensitive, retiring disposition, you will conceal your own experiences from the world at large. If you were born on March 31ˢᵗ, being in the Sign of Aries (House of Mars, Positive) you will be more forceful in your methods, but more inclined to arouse opposition against you. FINANCE Your extreme prudence and distrust of others will be your protection in financial matters. You will be more likely to inherit money or property than make it yourself, and if so you will endeavour to guard it carefully, rather than attempt to increase it. You could, however, be very successful in developing some gift in the form of art, literature, music or invention, or scientific research. HEALTH In matters relating to health you will become your own doctor. You will develop peculiar views regarding diet and the right way of living. You will run the risk of being considered “a crank" in such things and will cause friction and annoyance, especially in your home circles, as you will be inclined to force your views on other persons. CHAPTER XXV MARCH 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ You are likely not to feel strong or robust but this will be largely due to a tendency to develop morbidness as you advance in life and to feel criticism too keenly. Your most important numbers are the four hyphen one series (4-1) combined with the “threes," and you should endeavour to carry out everything important to you on dates making these numbers, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ,12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. If born on March 31ˢᵗ, the “number nine” of Mars will take the place of the “three” of Jupiter. You will attract into your life persons born on dates making the “four" and “eight,” such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ, and if born on March 31ˢᵗ the series of the “nine," as well, such as the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ. Strange events will be more likely to happen to you on these dates than on any others. To increase your magnetic vibrations and make yourself more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your clothing, the colours of your most important planets, such as Uranus: All shades of sapphire-blue and greys. The Sun: Gold, yellow, bronze to golden brown. Jupiter: Violet, mauve and violet-purple. Your “lucky” jewels are the sapphire, all dark blue stones, diamonds, the topaz, amber and the amethyst. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ,13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ. CHAPTER XXV MARCH 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one” or “four” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ; and if born on March 31ˢᵗ, those born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ as well as the above. * I have related so very fully in my Memoirs my various meetings with this extraordinary woman, Mata Hari, that I will not go into them here. Suffice it to say that when I first met her in November, 1900, in Paris, and took the impressions of her interesting hand which is reproduced in my Memoirs, I predicted for her a violent death to occur in October, 1917. She never forgot this when she became a German Spy in the Great War. Her last words to me when we met again by chance in the month of August before her execution, was: “Goodbye—don't forget me in October, 1917. At that period of her life she met her death to the month and year of my tragic prediction. Actress and soldier of fortune to the last, she refused to be blindfolded, kissed her hand to the soldiers and met her fate with a smile on her lips. CHAPTER XXVI MARCH 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Persons born on March 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. Number 5 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the planet Mercury in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), and Third House of the Water Triplicity. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described for persons born in March, but the influence of Mercury in this part of the year with the beneficent vibrations of Jupiter, will lessen any of the bad tendencies given in that description. You will be either a great success or a great failure, depending completely on whether you develop the strong side of your character or allow the weaker to dominate. If you develop the strong side, you will have uncommon intellectual gifts, great adaptability to any class of work that interests you, a versatile understanding of things in general, very ingenious and inventive, with a ready wit and a quiet way of turning difficulties to your own account. In money matters you will have good ideas in speculation, you will dearly like a gamble and will always be ready to take a risk. Money, however, will not remain in your hands, and you will have many financial “ups and downs.” If the weaker side of the character is allowed to rule, you will stick at nothing long; you will be a “jack of all trades,” but matter of none. You will gamble with opportunities, money and position, and lose all in doing so. You will be inclined to self-indulgence of all kinds and ruin the good intellect you started with. CHAPTER XXVI MARCH 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ If you develop the better side of your nature you will have a keen intuitive perception of people and things and a method of acquiring a vast store of knowledge. You will have a certain restlessness of mind which would be detrimental if you do not control it and develop concentration. Persons born on the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ of March as a rule change their residence frequently. They bate being tied down or to have to live in one home for any length of time. They are always ready to move or to travel and generally find some excuse for doing so. They are extremely versatile in knowledge and able to talk well on any subject that crops up in general conversation. I often find persons born on these dates have considerable financial ability and do well in such things, provided they do not let their large schemes get out of their control, as was the case with Horatio Bottomley, born on March 23ʳᵈ. Persons born under these combinations often show great inventive power, or bring forward new theories that startle the world, as was the case with Einstein, born March 14, and his theory of “Relativity.” FINANCE In spite of the brilliant talents persons born on these dates are endowed with, they seldom die rich. Money seems to melt in their hands and they rarely if ever make provision for their advanced years. I have known some of the world-wide financiers born under these combinations in this period of the year, see their great schemes go to pieces long before they reached the end of their life. CHAPTER XXVI MARCH 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ HEALTH You will be inclined to suffer from “nerves,” and to become irritable in the face of opposition. This you should endeavour to control, as it will be a detriment to any mental pursuit you may wish to develop. You will be also so versatile, that it will be very difficult for you to know where your talents really lie. All this will have a bad effect on your health and may threaten a nervous mental breakdown if you do not make an effort to keep your nerves under absolute control. If you were born on March 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ, your most important numbers are the “five” and the “three," and all their series, and you should try and carryout your plans on dates making these numbers, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 5ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 23ʳᵈ and 30ᵗʰ. You will be adaptable to all colours, but light shades with a touch of violet or mauve will be the most suitable for you. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds and all glistening or brilliant stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 32ⁿᵈ, 41ˢᵗ, 50ᵗʰ, 68ᵗʰ and 77ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “five” in any month of the year, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, also the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXVI MARCH 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ *Barron Collier, one of the big financiers of the States, whose promotions ran far into millions, came to see me in New York. He has acknowledged many times since then how I accurately predicted what would take place in his career. ** Horatio Bottomley, one of the most brilliant men in England, and perhaps one of the greatest speculators of his day, had a most sensational career. He organised the Hansard Syndicate that controlled millions of English money. He founded the newspaper "John Bull,” which for years had an enormous circulation. When he first came to see me he was at the height of his career and could not believe when I described how he would overreach himself, his great schemes come to the dust and he himself would land in prison. But that was exactly what did happen. *** Sir Charles Wyndham, at one time one of the most successful actor-managers in London, and owner of the Criterion Theatre, was one of the many who could not take my warnings and make provision for his advanced years. He forgot that Fate often turns its face on its favourites when they do not take its warnings. CHAPTER XXVII MARCH 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Persons born on March 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ. Number 6 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Planet Venus, in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), and Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition is that previously described for persons born in March, but because of the favourable influences of the combination of Venus and Jupiter in this period of the year, you are likely to escape any of the bad indications that may have been given. It will be your own fault if you do not make a success out of your life under such favourable influences. You will be attracted to the beautiful in all things. You will be a lover of music, painting, poetry, literature, sculpture, the fine arts and the theatre, and you could make a name in any one of these things. You will be emotional, extremely sympathetic to the call of suffering and if well off, you will give generously for the relief of others. You will make many friends and have great devotion shown you. You will be fond of society and entertaining; a lover of ease, comfort and beautiful surroundings. As well as creative art, you would make money in any work or business dealing with what are called the “luxury trades," such as catering, entertaining, organising banquets, high class restaurants, hotels or shops selling antiques or works of art of any kind, as well as in any of the artistic callings. CHAPTER XXVII MARCH 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ You should fight against fits of indolence, selfindulgence and extravagance and put aside money for your old age. You are likely to have many romances and love affairs, and you will be more or less changeable in matters of affection. There will be every likelihood of more than one marriage and unusual experience in married life. You will he most kind, charitable and generous in every way; very emotional, idealistic and romantic; extremely fond of society and entertaining your friends, a good host or hostess, but with a strong inclination toward extravagance. You will be likely to make some unusual marriage at some time in your life and have a great deal of trouble through marriage and meet with much hostility from relatives by marriage. FINANCE As a general rule you will be lucky in money matters. Money will come to you in unexpected ways, also presents and costly jewels. Owing to your naturally improvident disposition, you will run the danger of passing your advanced years in an impoverished condition unless you make up your mind to put money aside for “a rainy day.” HEALTH You will have a splendid healthy constitution during your early years, but you run the risk of ruining your health by luxurious living unless you keep yourself well under control. In your advanced years, you will be likely to suffer from some form of heart disease and high blood pressure. Your most important numbers are “sixes” and “threes" and all their series, and you should endeavour to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXVII MARCH 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ To increase your magnetic vibrations, and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear in some part of your dress or clothing, the colours of Venus or Jupiter, which are Venus: All shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest. Jupiter: Violet, mauve or purple-violet. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 42ⁿᵈ, 51ˢᵗ, 60ᵗʰ and 78ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “six” or a “three” in any month of the year, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. * Mrs. Kendal, the famous actress, always showed a deep interest in my work. She visited me several times in both London and New York and gave me signed impressions of her hands for my collection. CHAPTER XXVIII MARCH 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Persons born on March 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ. Number 7 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Neptune, the Moon and Jupiter, in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), and Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described for persons born in March, but the influences of Neptune and the Moon will increase the qualities described and bring the most unexpected episodes and events into your life. You will have high ideals and great ambitions, but rather inclined to live an independent unconventional life. You will be broad minded, but will have curious ideas about religion and must have your own way about looking at such matters. You will have a distinct bent towards investigation of the mysterious in nature, and will be likely to have vivid dreams and unusual inspiration in whatever your work may be. As this is not what may be called a worldly combination you should be very careful in dealing with money matters, although under some conditions, by following your intuition in business matters, you may become very rich. Your nature will be one full of contradictions. You will be both strong and weak at the same moment. Other persons could easily lead you if they can touch your idealism, but you cannot be driven, for on such an occasion you would show the most obstinate determination even against your own interests. CHAPTER XXVIII MARCH 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ You will be artistic and imaginative and have the ability to succeed in painting, writing, music, the theatre and the higher arts. You will have fine inspirational faculties, but could best develop them in quiet surroundings where you are not disturbed by the influence of other people. It is very doubtful if marriage would be favourable unless one was contracted rather late in life, and then with a person sympathetic to your ideals. You will be philanthropic and charitable, very desirous of helping institutions who are occupied in humanitarian work. Even if circumstances should not allow you to develop your own artistic talents, you will willingly help artists, buy their works, or make gifts to art galleries if you have the money at your disposal. FINANCE Financial matters as the result of your own mental efforts will be favourable to you. You will create money in whatever your line of work may be. You will be inclined at times to be over-generous or allow others to make financial success from your ideas. The accumulation of wealth will never be your only object in life. You could succeed in shipping products from one country to another, in gaining money in lands far from your place of birth, but especially in developing the inspirational side of your nature and by following your intuitions. HEALTH You will not be as strong physically as you will appear. You will live under high mental tension and have at intervals, spells of fatigue and exhaustion difficult to shake off. You will desire change, love the sea and wide expanses of water. An ocean voyage would always set you up when run down or feeling ill. CHAPTER XXVIII MARCH 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Your most important numbers are the “seven, two and three,” and all their series. You should do everything important for you on dates making these numbers, which are the 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours associated with your planets or at least have them in some part of your clothing. These colours are: Neptune: All shades of dove-grey, especially those known as “electric greys.” The Moon: All shades of greens and creams. Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauve and purpleviolet. Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, moonstones, pearls, amethysts and purple stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ, 70ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “seven” or “two” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ, also persons born on the series of “one” and “four." CHAPTER XXVIII MARCH 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ * Michael Davitt was one of the most interesting personalities I met in my career. He went to prison many times for his battles for Ireland's freedom, but he was a true patriot and would have suffered death before changing his opinions. I was introduced to this remarkable man by Charles Steward Parnell in the House of Commons. CHAPTER XXIX MARCH 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ Persons born on March 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ. Number 8 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn and Jupiter, in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition is that described for persons born in March, but the influence of Saturn in this part of the year will rather tend to increase the more serious side of your nature. The natural tendencies of the planetary combinations governing a birth on March 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ would be to make the life very hard and difficult through the early years, but from about the 33ʳᵈ or 35ᵗʰ year, there would be every likelihood of considerable improvement. Persons born on these dates often find themselves very much misunderstood and are likely to meet with much slander, calumny and discredit in the run of their lives. Such things are likely to be caused either from lack of money to enable you to carry out your plans and ambitions, from ties of relationship or association with others. If you were born on one of the above dates you should brace yourself to meet many secret sorrows and disappointments which will be continually cropping up, but by the development of strength of will, determination and never letting go of your ambition, you run the chances in the end of surmounting all difficulties. CHAPTER XXIX MARCH 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You may expect to have heavy responsibilities placed on your shoulders, and will have difficulty in holding situations or positions, not because of lack of ability on your part, but on account of circumstances likely to crop up to rob you of merit and reward. If you should marry early, you are likely to bring on yourself restricting conditions either caused by home ties or very probably due to sickness or illness of the partner. Marriage it not likely to be a very happy experience unless you accept it from a philosophical standpoint. The chances are that you will play a marked role in whatever your career may be. You will have the splendid quality of making the best of everything, and will not allow the world at large to share in your trials and sorrows. Persons born on any one of these dates have an unusually strong sense of duty, also a deep love of home and family. They have high ideals, especially for the masses, and are often found associated with large plans for the uplift of humanity. "General" Bramwell Booth of the Salvation Army, born on March 8ᵗʰ, is a good example of this combination. Those born under the indications governing the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ of March, no matter what their career may be, have an atmosphere of dignity and reserve as a sort of cloak to cover their own inner emotions. Such persons generally rise in life to high positions of respect and responsibility and often gain honours and reputation. CHAPTER XXIX MARCH 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ FINANCE As a rule persons born in the above combinations, rarely if ever regard wealth from a personal standpoint. They desire money for whatever the cause is they have at heart—and they generally gain it. If you were born on the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ of March you should avoid rashness in your own personal expenditures and avoid speculative risks. Although having good intuition about what other people should do, you will not be able to give yourself the same good advice and are liable to be influenced by designing persons planning for their own advantage more than yours. You will be likely to meet with sudden reverses of fortune at all times in your life and should endeavour to keep a “nest egg” in reserve for the eventualities that may happen. HEALTH Mental conditions will largely influence you in all matters of health. Any worry or anxiety will easily break down your resistance to disease, and cause you to have spells of melancholy and depression. You will be prone to falling a victim to long protracted colds, chills and weak circulation of the blood, especially if born on the 7ᵗʰ or 16ᵗʰ of March. You should live in dry climates and have as much outdoor life, travel and change as possible, or you will be liable to suffer with arthritis and rheumatism, especially in the region of the feet, ankles and knees. Your most important numbers are "fours,” “eights” and “three”, and all their series, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. At least these numbers and dates will be continually coming into your life and generally associated with serious consequences. CHAPTER XXIX MARCH 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ The number I would advise you to use, for your own personal advantage, is the “three” and all its series, and such dates as the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. You will very likely find yourself having a decided leaning toward wearing dark colours, but if you do I would strongly advise you to always have some touch of violet, mauve or violet-purple in your wearing apparel. Your fortunate jewels are black pearls and black diamonds, but I would advise you to use the amethyst or sapphire with the other combinations. Important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 71ˢᵗ, 76ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “four,” “eight” or “three” in any month of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ, 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ, and the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ and 30ᵗʰ. On one of my visits to Russia in February, 1904, His Excellency Alexander Izvolaky, Minister of Foreign Affairs, called on me at my hotel in St. Petersburg. He explained he had read my books and was deeply interested in such studies and would like me to draw up his horoscope. When it was finished I presented it to him at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an imposing building overlooking the Winter Palace. I did so with much trepidation, as it was one of the most ominous charts for future events I had ever made. CHAPTER XXIX MARCH 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ In spite of his ridicule, we became good friends and on one of my later visits to St. Petersburg, he drove me out to the Summer Palace at Peterhoff and had me dine with the Czar and Czarina as I have related fully in my Memoirs. My gloomy predictions in the end proved too true. Izvolaky was Russian Ambassador to France all through the Great War. In the Bolshevik Revolution, he lost everything and died, in what was almost an attic in Paris, on August 16ᵗʰ, 1919. CHAPTER XXX MARCH 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Persons born on March 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ. Number 9 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars and Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Pisces, House of Jupiter, (Negative), and Third House of the Triplicity of Water. The foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in March, but the influence of Mars in this part of the year will give you the power to combat and overcome any of the bad indications given. It also will increase the robustness of your constitution and help you to resist threatened illnesses. The influence of Mars in this part of the year, will, however, make you at times rash and impulsive in thought and action. You will have a more or less erratic type of nature. You will be restless, making changes in occupation or career. You will be inclined to rush into new schemes without due thought. You should learn to control your temper, especially over little things and try to be tolerant with those around you, and with those with whom you work. You will suffer a good deal from hidden enemies, from slander and false reports, and whether you deserve it or not, you will be inclined to be harshly and unjustly treated if you are drawn into litigation in any form whatsoever. In business schemes you will have to be most careful of partners and associates, the tendency being for you to get the blame if anything should go wrong. CHAPTER XXX MARCH 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ You will be inclined to be too generous with money, also rash in speculations. You will be very ambitious, with an intense desire to make yourself independent, and for this reason you will strain every effort to accumulate riches and run risks in doing so. You will have great courage in trials and misfortunes up to a certain point, but if your courage should at any time fail you, you will be inclined to become gloomy, morose and irritable and take some course of action that you would afterwards regret. You will make friends easily with those in high positions, but with those in your own sphere, or those beneath you, you will be prone to make many bitter enemies. You are likely to have many hardships and disappointments in love or affection, and have a considerable amount of trouble with any children you may have. At times you may have a leaning to indulge in drink or drugs, it depends entirely on your will and ambition whether you keep yourself from this or not. You will be generous and free with money, but rather inclined to be too extravagant and wasteful. If you should engage in business or industry, you will rise to a position of authority, but may not be able to keep it on account of your tendency to make enemies. In any department of government life you would go far and would be likely to reach some position of great responsibility. CHAPTER XXX MARCH 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ FINANCE Unless you were born into a strong position regarding wealth you may expect to meet with many fluctuations of money in ordinary life. You would not be lucky in speculation or investments, but could always do better for others than for yourself. If possible you should buy an annuity for your advanced years for the simple reason that you will not have much desire to save money or put it aside for yourself. HEALTH If you were born on March 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ, in your early years you will escape all serious illnesses, but in the run of the forties considerable changes are likely to take place in your constitution. If you study yourself carefully during this period, especially in matters of diet, you may be able to build yourself up for another period. If not, you will be liable to experience many serious ailments, such as trouble with the liver and kidneys, stoppages in the intestines, weakness of the heart and much experience of the surgeon’s knife. Your most important numbers and dates are “nines” and “threes,” and you should endeavour to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. Unfavourable dates for you are “fours” and “eights,” and all their series, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. The colours most suitable for you are: Mars: All shades of crimson, reds or rose. Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauve or violetpurple. Your “lucky” jewels are bloodstones and amethysts. rubies, garnets, CHAPTER XXX MARCH 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 72ⁿᵈ and 81ˢᵗ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “nine” in any month of the year, such as the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and in a secondary degree with those born on the series of “threes” and “sixes,” such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ, also with those born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ. * I had the pleasure of meeting the President and Mrs. Cleveland during my visit to Washington. Mrs. Cleveland gave an English tea for me at the White House and according to the newspapers I was most successful in certain predictions I made to her. ** Harry Carr, the well-known editor, journalist and author, had been for many years the principal columnist writer on “The Los Angeles Times”. He came to see me just before his world tour for his paper, and was greatly interested in my work. I warned him that the nervous tension under which he lived would shortly bring his brilliant career to a close. He laughed and said “there could be no such thing as rest for me.” Three years later he passed away in his 58ᵗʰ year. This number if added together it will be noticed makes a 13 or a 4. APRIL APRIL April 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ April 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ April 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ April 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ April 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. April 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ April 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ April 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ April 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ “Seeing hit days are determined, the number of his months are with Thee. Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass. _Job: Chapter XIV, v. 5. CHAPTER XXXI APRIL The zodiacal influence for the month of April in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year. The Zodiacal Sign of Aries, which governs the month of April, commences on March 21ˢᵗ, but for seven days being overlapped by the “cusp” of the previous sign it does not come into its full power until about March 27ᵗʰ. From this date onward it is in full force until April 19ᵗʰ. It is then for seven days gradually losing strength on account of becoming overlapped by the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Taurus, “House of Venus.” People born in this part of the year, namely from March 21ˢᵗ to April 19ᵗʰ and in the “cusp” to April 26ᵗʰ, are endowed with strong will power, determination and obstinacy of purpose. They are born fighters in every sense of the word. They have, as a rule, great ability as organisers, either in large businesses or in the organisation of large masses of people. They are intensely independent in work and must have things done their own way. If subjected to interference they often “step out” and let “the other fellow” take their place. As far as material success or power is concerned, there are no heights persons born in this Sign cannot reach—provided they “keep their head.” Success, however, is often their undoing, praise and flattery are inclined to make them have “swelled heads." In such conditions they do not “see straight" and by obstinate, arrogant actions in many cases bring about their own undoing. They are endowed with great mental energy, full of new schemes and original plans for anything they are interested in. They are self-willed and nothing but hard facts and reason will make them see things in any light but their own. CHAPTER XXXI APRIL They are inclined to lack caution, being by their nature impulsive and quick in thought and action. They generally go to extremes in all things, are too frank and outspoken and inclined to make enemies by want of tact. They are extremely ambitious; as a rule they succeed in life and either amass money or gain positions of responsibility. The lower type of this Sign will stick at nothing to accomplish their purpose. As masters they are brutal and tyrannical and often meet a violent death. The higher types are good masters, but at the same time severe in discipline and more or less exacting in the service they demand from others. Both classes have a distinct desire to peer into the future, perhaps because they are impatient for things to develop. They are inclined to prophesy what will take place and often are very gifted in this direction. They desire to be looked up to and regarded as “the head," both in their homes, in their businesses and in their careers. As a general rule the men born in this part of the year suffer a great deal through their affections; they seldom understand women and often make great mistakes in their relationships with them. For both sexes their greatest happiness comes from work and the overcoming of obstacles. This part of the Zodiac, the House of Mars (Positive), is also called the “House of Exaltation of the Sun," which helps to focus all the fire, energy and fearlessness of the planet Mars upon the character and Destiny. CHAPTER XXXI APRIL Mars, the ancient symbol of War and Action, strongly influences persons born in April, making the- combative element predominate. As a rule they fight their way through all obstacles, countering many dangers and experiencing many changes in their life and careers. Essentially positive, forceful and heroic, the character is one of exceptional strength; they are as a rule optimistic in times of adversity and rise to the call of almost any emergency. If really aiming at success they should restrain their impulsiveness, for there is a strong tendency to rush recklessly into the fray without questioning the justice of the dispute; thus they frequently fight on the wrong side. Their decisions are generally made on impulse and the ultimate invariably sacrificed for the immediate. It is not exactly a want of foresight, but the desire of the moment that inclines to carry them away. At the same time, though it may seem paradoxical, they are born leaders, organisers, practical, enterprising and ambitious, always in the van of progress and the first to support a new idea. Their natures revolt against all forms of convention and discipline. Their domestic life, as a general rule, does not turn out very happily unless they have the good luck to meet a partner who readily gives in to their plans and wishes. But, as far as material success is concerned, there is no height such persons cannot attain through their determination, executive ability and splendid powers of organisation. FINANCE Persons born in April, being governed by the planet Mars, in the House of “the exaltation of the Sun,” have usually good earning ability, but tend to large or extravagant ideas in monetary matters. CHAPTER XXXI APRIL They can be very practical where the management of others is concerned, but there is a strong tendency to impulsive action in all important matters and they are apt to rush recklessly into any big financial scheme that presents itself to their notice. Owing to their innate lavishness and large ideas, they are often liable to sudden and heavy losses and fluctuation of fortune. They are very determined in the acquisition of wealth, but they gain more by judicious investments, industry and business than by actual luck. Persons born in April are much inclined to be involved in litigation and quarrels that promote law suits and in such matters, as a general rule, they are not fortunate. HEALTH The strong influence of Mars in such persons’ lives, gives-them a magnificent physical store of health and energy, though their very excess of vitality is a danger and most of their maladies will be induced by overwork. Their headstrong tendency to carry an enterprise through in wholly adverse circumstances or at an unsuitable time, is responsible for frequent disappointments, which result in irritation and impatience, inducing brain fag or nervous exhaustion, which maybe the precursors of gastric and stomach derangements. They cannot be too careful in their habits and should live quietly, never exceeding temperate limits. They will always be more or less liable to feverish and inflammatory troubles. They should take vigorous daily exercise in the open air and avoid taking alcohol or any exciting drugs for their emotional nature wants controlling instead of stimulating. CHAPTER XXXI APRIL Everything connected with the head is inclined to suffer more than any other part of the body; pain in the teeth, ears and eyes, rushes of blood to the head, headaches and danger of apoplexy. Persons born in this Sign seldom get through life without receiving cuts, wounds or blows to the head, either from accidents or violence. They are also much inclined to suffer from the stomach, kidneys and liver. They are liable to gall stones, and trouble with the bladder and usually have a great deal of experience of the surgeon’s knife. MARRIAGE, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, ETC. They will find their most harmonious relationships with persons born in their own Sign (Aries), March 21ˢᵗ to April 19ᵗʰ, 1ˢᵗ House of Fire. July 21ˢᵗ to August 20ᵗʰ the Sign of Leo, 2ⁿᵈ House of Fire. November 21ˢᵗ to December 20ᵗʰ the Sign of Sagittarius, 3ʳᵈ House of Fire and in the seven days of the “cusp” at the beginning or ending of each of these periods; also persons born in the part of the year the exact opposite of their own— in this case the 21ˢᵗ of September to the 21ˢᵗ of November. It must be borne in mind that from October 21ˢᵗ to November 21ˢᵗ - 28ᵗʰ is the House of Mars (Negative), which is the reason that persons born from March 21ˢᵗ to April 19ᵗʰ - 27ᵗʰ (Mars Positive) are generally much attracted to those born under Mars (Negative). CHAPTER XXXII APRIL 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Persons born on April 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ. Number 1 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Sun and Mars (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. This is a very powerful combination which should enable you to carry out your plans and ambitions to a successful issue. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in April. In your special case all the stronger qualities will make themselves manifest even early in your career. You will be highly creative and original in your plans and have great fearlessness and determination of purpose. You will be decidedly ambitious. You will rise above your fellows and are likely to become the most prominent member of your family or among your relations. You would be more successful without partners than with them. You will detest restraint of any kind, be a law unto yourself and will inconsequence make many enemies in fighting your way through the battle of life. You will be extremely generous if allowed to have your own way, but as hard as iron if opposed, or if anyone should try to take any advantage of you in even the smallest way. CHAPTER XXXII APRIL 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ You will crave for love and affection, but find it the hardest thing to gain, unless you meet those who fit in with your ambition. You will be likely to have disputes with any children you may have and in domestic matters. You will have an intense longing for outdoor life and a love of sport in all its forms. You should, however, be extremely careful in all matters of carrying guns. You will also run considerable risk from fire, explosions, motor car accidents and such like. FINANCE You will have many “ups and downs” in money matters, but chiefly owing to your own rashness and in attempting enterprises beyond your power of execution. Owing to your magnetic nature you will have great influence over others, especially your opposite sex. You would make a successful company promoter, preacher, orator, organiser, or in any career that would bring you before the public. You will always have the ability to make money but at the same time you are likely to make many bitter enemies in the course of your career. HEALTH In health you should have great vitality and a splendid constitution, although you will at times undermine it by over-strain and overwork. Your greatest danger will come from high blood pressure, heart disease or apoplexy. You should endeavour to keep on a simple diet and above all things avoid the use of alcohol and strong stimulants of any kind. Your most important numbers and dates are the “one” and “nine” with all their series. You should endeavour to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers, which are the 1ˢᵗ, 9ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXXII APRIL 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ You may find the numbers of “four” and “eight” and their series being drawn greatly into your life, but these it would be better to avoid as much as possible, such numbers as the 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 26 and 31, or accept them as warnings and act accordingly. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear the colours relating to the Sun and Mars, which are: Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange to golden brown. Mars: All shades of red, crimson or rose. Your “lucky” jewels are topaz, amber, diamonds and red stones, such as the ruby and garnet. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 37ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 72ⁿᵈ and 73ʳᵈ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one,” “four,” “eight” or “nine” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XXXII APRIL 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ * Lord Brotherton, a great organiser of industry, who rose from the ranks, being born under Mars in April, always wore a ruby as his lucky jewel. ** George Arliss, the famous actor, took a deep interest in my System of Numbers. *** Joseph Pulitzer, founder of the New York World, had me interviewed the moment I arrived in New York and published a full front page account of my reading of the impressions of famous hands his reporter put before me. CHAPTER XXXIII APRIL 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Persons born on April 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Number 2 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Moon, and Neptune with Mars, (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in April. The combination of planets under which you were born, will give you a character full of contradictions, one with great individuality, will power and determination, but largely swayed by the imaginative and romantic qualities. You will have original and unconventional ideas, with much imagination for creative and inventive work. You will resent being tied down or hampered in any way and will be inclined to rebel against restrictions and conventionalities. You will be likely to experience a great amount of trouble in your domestic life unless you overcome the romantic desires of your nature. You will be an enthusiast in everything you attempt, but rather inclined to carry your own opinions too far for your ultimate good. You will have many changes in occupation, not being tied down to one particular branch of work, but you will never be satisfied with any position you may acquire. Marriage is not likely to turn out well unless you control your emotions and compel yourself to settle down to a conventional life. CHAPTER XXXIII APRIL 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ You will be forceful, masterful and self-reliant in all positions of authority over others. You will stand out as a dominant leader, especially if you take an interest in political life or in military organisations. In such things you would be aggressive in your manner of speech or in writings, but at the same time you would command a large following. In business or industry you would aim to become the head and would be noted for your originality of ideas. FINANCE In financial matters you would have weight and authority and be successful in carrying out your own plans if not hampered by partners. If you developed your abilities as a writer or artist you would also gain fame and considerable renown, but in whatever you may do you will stand out as a “forceful personality.” HEALTH In health you will have a robust constitution, but would be prone to taking “too much out of yourself’ in periods of exaltation and enthusiasm. You will be liable to have fevers and disorders of the blood, causing boils and eruptions on the head, face and body. You will be subject to many experiences of the surgeon’s knife in various, parts and to have danger from the intestines. You will have to guard against such things as trouble with the teeth, the gums, the nose, throat, the ears, mastoids and the sinus passages. You will meet with many accidents, have danger to your life from enemies and will run the risk of assassination or a violent death. Your most important numbers and dates are the “twos”, “sevens” and “nines” and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXXIII APRIL 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ You should endeavour to attempt your plans on any of these dates. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear in your clothing at least in some part, the colours belonging to your main planets, which are The Moon: All shades of green and white. Neptune: All shades of greys. Mars: All shades of red, crimson and rose. Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, moonstone, cat’s-eyes, opals, pearls, rubies, garnets and all red stones. Your most important or climacteric years are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 45ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 54ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 63ʳᵈ, 70ᵗʰ, 72ⁿᵈ and 81ˢᵗ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “two” or “seven” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. If you were born on April 29ᵗʰ, you will be at the commencement of the incoming Sign of Taurus whose Ruler is Venus. This will soften the qualities given by the 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ of April governed by Mars. It will make you more magnetic to others, less aggressive in manner, but more likely to have complications brought about by your opposite sex. CHAPTER XXXIII APRIL 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ *I had the honour of meeting the great French writer, Zola, during the famous Dreyfus Trial in Paris. Zola was a fighter in every sense of the word. It was chiefly owing to his forceful articles in the Press, especially the one under the heading of “J’accuse” that Dreyfus, in the end, was brought back to France from “Devil's Island” and acquitted. **In California I had the pleasure of spending two days at Mr. William Randolph Hearst’s magnificent estate at San Simeon. Mr. Hearst I must always consider as one of the most outstanding personalities in the United States. With his powerful organisation of newspapers stretching from one side of the continent to the other, he may well be called “The President Maker” of America. I presented this remarkable man with a signed impression of his mother's hands, which she gave me on one of my visits to the States in May, 1896. Mr. Hearst had me explain his own hands. He was deeply interested in my System of Numbers, together with the future I had indicated for the United States as published in my book “Cheiro's World Predictions.”* *“Cheiro's World Predictions" may be had from all booksellers.

Number 3 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Jupiter with Mars, (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in April, but this combination will make you more than usually ambitious and determined to rise in life and to succeed in whatever your purpose may be. You will be successful in all positions of authority over others, very definite in your opinions and rather dictatorial in your views. You will be good in organisation, management and control of others; just and severe in the administration of law, even to the sacrifice of your own relations if necessary, for the sake of example to others. You will make powerful enemies and equally powerful friends. You will be exceptionally independent in your character and will resent being placed under a compliment or obligation to anyone. In your domestic life you must be the “head of the house” in every sense. If not, there will be considerable trouble and friction. In many ways you will lead a “charmed life” escaping accidents and dangers that would destroy others. CHAPTER XXXIV APRIL 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ You will be what might well be described as both progressive and aggressive, but with high motives for the general good. You will aim to gain social standing in whatever community you live in. You will make influential friends in high positions and yet display large heartedness and kindness toward the lower elements of humanity. You will be given positions of responsibility and may be drawn to fill government offices at some time in your life. If you went in for the Army or Navy you would rise rapidly and gain honours. You will be likely to fill two positions in the run of your career; one your own particular business, the other in municipal affairs or government work. You would make an excellent judge on account of your natural balanced judgment and your innate desire to see fair play to all. You will have a very decided love for literature, science and deep study and everything that can develop your mental powers. You will be a pioneer in your desire to develop new ideas for the general improvement of conditions, especially in relation to the masses and public. FINANCE In matters of finance you will be fortunate and will be likely to acquire considerable wealth. You will be careful in speculation, investing your money in solid concerns and in building up industry and business. CHAPTER XXXIV APRIL 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ HEALTH You will have a robust, vigorous constitution; be a lover of outdoor life and sport of every kind, but will run some danger of accidents from animals, probably on account of your fearlessness in dealing with them. You will at times suffer from acute indigestion and stomach trouble, largely brought on by indiscretions in diet and perhaps by the many public banquets you will be obliged to attend. After middle life you are likely to put on flesh and develop trouble with the heart. Your most important numbers and dates are everything to do with the “threes,” “sixes” and “nines,” or any of their series, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. The “number six” and its series will, however, although important, be likely to bring you much trouble if associated with persons who have “six” or its series for their birth numbers. You should make every effort to carry out your plans to meet persons important to you on the above dates. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear as a part of your clothing, the colours of the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mars, which are Jupiter: All shades of violet and mauve. Venus: All shades of blue from lightest to darkest. Mars: All shades of crimson, red or rose. Your most important or climacteric years are the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 36ᵗʰ, 39ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 45ᵗʰ, 48ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 54ᵗʰ, 57ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 66ᵗʰ, 69ᵗʰ, 72ⁿᵈ, 75ᵗʰ, 78ᵗʰ and 81ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XXXIV APRIL 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ If you were born on the 30ᵗʰ day of April you will be in the first degrees of the next Zodiacal Sign, the House of Venus. Your characteristics will be the same as to their foundation, but you will be kinder, more affectionate and more generous. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “three,” “six” or "nine” in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. * Lord Avebury gave me signed impressions of his hands at the time in his life when he was Sir John Lubbock before he was raised to the Peerage. The reproduction of his hand may be seen in my large work “Cheiro’s language of the Hand.” CHAPTER XXXV APRIL 4 ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22 ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ Persons born on April 4 ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22 ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ. Number 4 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Uranus, the Sun and Mars, in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in previous pages for persons born in April. This is a strong, but rather peculiar combination, causing you to meet with strange contradictions in going through life. You will have periods of success and periods of failure. The unexpected will happen more often than the expected. You will be a child of circumstances where Fate will play an important part. You will be likely to make many changes in your career and plans and feel restless and unsettled unless you can strike someone decided thing in which you can put your heart and soul. You will find great difficulty in making true friends and those you will make will be more or less peculiar and odd. You will be original and unconventional in your views and will form a religion and philosophy of your own. You will experience many enmities, have underhand enemies and meet with much opposition. You will not have an easy life at any time, as far as the material world is concerned. CHAPTER XXXV APRIL 4 ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22 ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ You should be inventive, also fond of machinery, but more especially that of the newer types, electrical devices of all kinds, radio, television and such like. You will have remarkable ideals, but rather of the philosophical order but there is a side in your nature that as a rule will bring you into conflict with others likely to cause you to have many disputes, estrangements with partners and litigation. You will not be a person that one can easily advise, as you will have a very personal way in looking at life, especially in dealing with the “children of your brain.” You will be inclined to take the opposite view in any argument and you will not have sufficient tact to hide your resentment with those who do not agree with you. At times you will be brusque or blunt in your manner and may hurt people’s feelings, but not meaning to do so. As a rule you will be much misunderstood, but so independent in character that you will not care whether you are liked or not. You will be a great reader, with a deep love of good literature, with intense mental energy and activity in everything you do. FINANCE You will not easily work with others, but could be very successful in carrying out your own ideas. In matters concerning money you will be prudent and cautious and in small things may get a reputation for being “close-fisted." You will be rather inclined to be over-anxious about the future and for this reason you will endeavour to make good provision for your advanced years. If a business man, you will be likely to retire early in life from active work. CHAPTER XXXV APRIL 4 ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22 ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ HEALTH In matters of health you will be very unusual. You will overwork with a superabundance of energy; at other times you will feel too listless to make any effort. Mysterious illnesses, difficult to diagnose, are likely to affect you. Get back to nature and the simplest diet will be your salvation at such periods. Your most important numbers and dales are the “fours,” “ones" and “nines, “and all their series, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 27ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ. You will find the number “eight” much brought into your affairs, also persons whose birthdays fall on this number or its series, such as the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ and 26ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear, in some part of your clothing, the colours of the planets of Uranus, the Sun and Mars, which are: Uranus: All shades of grey and what are called “electric colours". Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange to golden brown. Mars: All shades of red, crimson or rose. But if born on April 22ⁿᵈ, having come into the “cusp” of the Sign of Taurus you should substitute all shades of blue for those of red or crimson. Your “lucky” jewels are sapphires and blue stones of that colour, topaz, yellow diamonds and amber; but if born on the 22ⁿᵈ you should use the turquoise and sapphire as much as possible. CHAPTER XXXV APRIL 4 ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22 ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 67ᵗʰ, 71ˢᵗ, 76ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a four or eight in any month of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. CHAPTER XXXVI APRIL 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Persons born on April 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. Number 5 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mercury with Mars, (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. This combination can be either very good or very bad, depending on the way you may develop your will power and general character. It can also be very lucky or the very reverse. If you were born on April 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ, your mind will be versatile, clever and intelligent, but should be well directed. If kept under control of the higher aspirations there is nothing it cannot master or accomplish. You will be inclined to quickness of thought, speech and action; sharp in repartee and argument, but with good reasoning powers and mental adaption on almost all subjects. You will like all forms of new ideas, and inclined to be in active rebellion against conservative submission to convention. You will be fond of reading and delving into histories, and will have a remarkable memory for facts and dates. You would have great influence over others by the gift of speech or by the pen. If you develop your will power you will rise in life to some high position, but one having heavy responsibilities. Should you allow the worse side of your nature to have its sway you will be attracted to evil companions, social extravagance, drinking, gambling, etc., and lead a dissolute life. CHAPTER XXXVI APRIL 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ You will attract intense love and devotion from others, but you will be impersonal in your own feelings and be rather aloof in matters of the affections. You will be likely to marry more than once and to meet with considerable trouble in your domestic life. You will make enemies by your quick repartee and frankness of speech, but taking things all round you will have remarkable mental influence over others. FINANCE In matters relating to financial prospects you will be largely the arbitrator of your own destiny, but the success of your work will come first in every way. If you belong to the higher plane which your natural gifts entitle you to occupy, you will always find the money you want for your purpose, but should you come under the lower influence of this Zodiacal combination in April, you will be inclined to undermine your splendid mentality by drugs, drink and loose living, and will gamble away your chances of the good opportunities that will come your way. HEALTH Your nervous system will be over-highly strung by reason of your intensely active brain. You will run the risk of exhaustion if you do not study yourself as one would some intricate piece of machinery. At times you will be liable to experience a twitching of the nerves in the face and eyes, which will be warning signals of your over-taxing your mental strength. You will be liable to have trouble with the digestive organs and intestines. Your most important numbers and dates are the “fives” and “nines,” and all their series, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ and 27ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXXVI APRIL 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ You should endeavour to carry out your plans on these dates. To increase your magnetic vibrations, you should wear light colours as much as possible, but with some touch of red, crimson or rose. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds and rubies, and all white or glistening stones. Your most important or climacteric years are the 5ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 27ᵗʰ, 32ⁿᵈ, 36ᵗʰ, 41ˢᵗ, 45ᵗʰ, 50ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 59ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 68ᵗʰ and 72ⁿᵈ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “five” in any month of the year, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. CHAPTER XXXVII APRIL 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Persons born on April 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ. Number 6 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus with Mars (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. This is a favourable combination, giving you a genial generous nature backed up by the energy and enthusiasm of the planet Mars. The basic foundation of your disposition and character is that described in preceding pages for persons born in April. Your nature will be affectionate, demonstrative, warm-hearted and passionate, and greatly attracted toward your opposite sex. You will be popular socially, making friends wherever you go. You will be very charitably inclined, with your sympathetic nature responding quickly and impulsively to appeals for assistance from others. You will make use of money rather extravagantly and make a good show in your home and surroundings. The tendency will be to live too well, to enjoy the good things of life and to live up to or beyond your income. You will, however, be more lucky than otherwise, both in friends and money, but you should be careful to curb your generosity and not let it impoverish you. You will be likely to marry early, acting from impulse more than reason. An early marriage is not in your case inclined to harmony. A second marriage later in life would be more favourable. CHAPTER XXXVII APRIL 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ You should make a success in some artistic life, such as painting, music, sculpture, poetry or literature. You will be fond of the theatre and opera and should do well in such professions. You will make many friends and be extremely popular, but inclined to waste too much time and money in the entertainment of those you meet. You will be intensely fond of travel and keenly interested in the customs and habits of other nations. FINANCE In matters of money you will be very lucky during the early years of your life, but due to your own extravagance and lack of provision for the future, there will be grave danger of your finding yourself in an impoverished condition long before the end of your days. HEALTH In questions of health you will have a good constitution, quickly recovering from any illness, but you will be liable to suffer with afflictions concerning the head, such as delicacy of the throat, nose and ears and severe headaches. Your most important numbers and dates are the “six,” “three” and “nine, “with all their series, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. You should endeavour to carry out your plans on these dates. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours of your planets, Venus, Jupiter and Mars, which are: Venus: All shades of blue, from lightest to the darkest. CHAPTER XXXVII APRIL 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Mars: All shades of red, crimson and rose. Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauve and violetpurple. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 36ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 45ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 54ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 69ᵗʰ, and 72ⁿᵈ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “three,” “six” or “nine” in any month of the year, such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. * He was the Englishman who “broke the bank” at Monte Carlo three times in one afternoon, netting him the nice bonus of over a hundred thousand. He made no secret of the fact that in doing so, he employed my System of Numbers, and often chaffed me that I had not the courage to follow his example. He was the most generous man I ever knew. No one in distress ever appealed to him in vain, perhaps for this reason he died in the end without a cent. CHAPTER XXXVIII APRIL 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Persons born on April 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ. Number 7 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Neptune, the Moon with Mars (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. This strange combination will give you a very complicated character and produce a very unusual life. The basic foundation of your disposition and character is described in preceding pages for persons born in April, but in your case everything will be more accentuated. You will be greatly attracted to mystical, masonic and secret societies; also to occultism and psychic studies, and will be likely to investigate such matters. You will have a great love for music and will probably play some instrument remarkably well. You will have very intense emotions and feelings and original ideas in connection with religion and social affairs. You are likely to be considered a “crank “or eccentric, by those who do not understand you, but you will gladly pursue your way all the same in spite of opposition. You will have an intense desire to travel and see countries far from your place of birth. Your greatest fault will be restlessness of disposition, and a continual desire for change in your surroundings. You might do exceptionally well in some artistic life, or one giving scope to your inventive imaginative abilities. In ordinary business you would have many changes but any life of routine would not be suitable to you. CHAPTER XXXVIII APRIL 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Neptune in this period of the year intensifies your emotions, but it is not a worldly or material aspect. You will therefore find it hard to settle down to any regular conventional life. You are likely to take an interest in organisations connected with benevolent institutions, and you might do well if you became associated with national or political work on such lines. You are liable to take strong aversions to many people you come in contact with and this quality in your disposition you should endeavour to control or it will cause you to be much misunderstood. FINANCE The question of finance will be a very peculiar one for you. There will always be a likelihood of considerable uncertainty and fluctuation in money matters, but you will, at times, make or realize large sums of money by your inventive ideas. You will be inclined to live in a land of dreams and illusions with your opposite sex and meet with many disappointments. You should avoid all speculation and gambling of every kind. HEALTH In health you will be liable to rapid changes in physical conditions, and be much influenced by your surroundings. You will be much subject to colds, chills, fevers, influenza and malaria, and will run down easily when there is any unusual tax on your system. Your most important numbers and dates will be the “sevens” and “twos “and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. You should endeavour to carry out your plans or engagements on such dates. CHAPTER XXXVIII APRIL 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ Your most fortunate colours are those of Neptune, the Moon and Mars, which are: Neptune: All shades of dove-greys and electric shades. Moon: All shades of green, cream and white. Mars: All shades of red, crimson and rose. Your most important or climacteric years of life are the 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ and 70ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “two” and “seven” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Also those born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXXIX APRIL 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ Persons born on April 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ. Number 8 people in this month. If you were born on one of the above dates, such as April 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn with Mars (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Aries, First House of the Triplicity of Fire. But if born on April 26ᵗʰ, this date being the first of the Number Eight series in the next Sign—Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth ruled by Venus, you will come under very different conditions than if born on the 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ. The 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ of April, under the vibrations of Saturn and Mars, is not a very favourable combination, unless you exercise great caution and prudence in all your actions. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in April, only in your case the things indicated will be more emphasised. You will meet with great difficulties and obstacles to your ambitions during the first half of your life. You will be held back by ties of home and relations and are likely to have many people to support or care for. You will be very ambitious and rather chafe and struggle against the conditions of your life, but your greatest asset will be your dogged perseverance and determination. You are not likely to be lucky with partners in business or in marriage, especially an early one. You will be liable to meet with considerable opposition and unhappiness. Late partnerships and late marriage would be more favourable. CHAPTER XXXIX APRIL 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You will have remarkable ideas and plans for the starting of new industries and for the developing of business on a large scale. Your greatest difficulty will be to find others who will see with you “eye to eye.” You will be likely to attempt things on “big lines,” but your persistency, great will power and determination are likely to carry you through in the end. Although you will not have any real love of money except as a means to an end, you will be tormented by the fear of poverty and so at times you may be considered “close-fisted" or mean by those who only judge on the surface. You will be extremely reserved, not trusting people easily, more or less suspicious of strangers and always inclined to keep “a card up your sleeve." You will be acquisitive, hoarding up things in closets and trunks that you may never use. The dates of the 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ of April generally produce excellent doctors, surgeons, scientists, chemists or organisers of every description. If born on April 26ᵗʰ, being at the commencement of the incoming Sign of Taurus, House of Venus (Positive), many of the qualities already mentioned will in your case be softened by the Venus side of your nature. When opposed you will “fight to the death" in defence of your views, but when the battle is over you will be most forgiving and repentant for the hasty words you may have used. You will be inclined to lack patience with others and lose control over your temper on the least provocation. CHAPTER XXXIX APRIL 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You are likely to be drawn into many lawsuits in the course of your life. Ana rule you will have much worry and disappointment with lawyers and would do best in fighting your own battles. You are not likely to be fortunate in money matters until past middle life, but when it does come it will recompense you for what you have passed through. As the “cusp” of Taurus commences on April 19ᵗʰ, the seven days added to it brings April 26ᵗʰ to the first day of Taurus, the Bull, First House of Earth, consequently you should do well in the opening up of land, making money by its development, also in estates and house property. All Venus things will be favourable for you, such as the manufacture of perfumes, cultivation of flowers, trees or plants. You will also be extremely fond of music, painting and the decorative arts in general. Your chief faults will be extravagance in thought and actions, the desire to carry things out on a large scale, inclined to be too “bull-headed" and obstinate, to not know “when to give in” or to learn the lesson that “discretion is the better part of valour.” Your life will be full of contradictions, born on April 26ᵗʰ on the ending of the “cusp” of Mars (Positive), and standing at the beginning of Venus (Positive), with Saturn as a powerful influence. You must expect what is called “a marked” life and to meet with much opposition in the carrying out of your plans. FINANCE Your obstinate perseverance and headstrong qualities will always be a great asset in your favour, but you will find very few persons, if any, that you can work easily with in “double harness.” CHAPTER XXXIX APRIL 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ You will be more likely to be the architect of your own fortune than receive much help from others, but there is no reason for you not to eventually succeed and even become wealthy. HEALTH In health, if born on the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ of April, you are likely to have some very peculiar experiences such as the wrong diagnose of your ailments, wrong medicines prescribed for you and such like. You should studiously avoid drugs of all kinds, also wines or spirituous drinks. You should study your diet and keep your intestines in good condition or you will be liable to auto-poisoning, boils, carbuncles, skin complaints, constipation and such ills, also some peculiar condition of the blood. You are liable to undergo many operations, especially those concerned with the jaws, teeth and bones of the head. You will be likely to have the tonsils removed early in life and experience delicacy in connection with the nose, throat, ears and lungs. You will find the numbers of “four” and “eight” inclined to come into your life with great significance, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. I do not advise you to deliberately select these numbers, or dates for your own purpose, but to make use of them as they come along. If you were born as late in April as the 26ᵗʰ you should use the numbers of Venus as much as possible, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ and 24ᵗʰ and those of the Sun, the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XXXIX APRIL 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ To increase your magnetic vibrations I would advise you to use the colours of the Sun as much as possible, and next to that those of Venus and Mars. The Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange, golden brown or bronze. Venus: All shades of blue, but especially those of the sapphire order. Mars: All shades of red, crimson or rose. For “lucky” jewels wear diamonds, topaz, amber, rubies, garnets, red stones, sapphires and emeralds. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 67ᵗʰ, 76ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “four” or “eight” in any month of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ. Also persons born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and if born on April 26ᵗʰ, as well the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ and 24ᵗʰ. Persons born on the series of “fours” and eights” on the four Cardinal Points of the Zodiac, which are April, July, October and from the 22ⁿᵈ December to February 19ᵗʰ, will find the numbers of “fours and eights” of more meaning and importance in their lives than those born on the same series in other months of the year. CHAPTER XL APRIL 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ Persons born on April 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ. Number 9 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars, in the House of Mars (Positive), with the exception of the 27ᵗʰ, which is under the influence of the incoming Sign of Venus. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in April. In your case, however, if born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ, the important highlights will be accentuated. The first of the number nine people born in this part of the Zodiac commences on March 27. You will be extremely independent in thought and action; have a strong dislike to all restrictions and limitations of any kind. You will be much inclined to express your views and opinions too frankly regardless of the feelings of others. You will be rather quick in temper, combative and rush into quarrels or arguments on the impulse of the moment. You will have a keen love of sport in all its forms and will seek adventure on every occasion. You will run great risks, be fearless in danger, exhibiting the true fighting spirit on all occasions. You would have talent for any form of military life and be ready at a moment's notice to volunteer for war if the occasion should offer. You will never get through life without meeting considerable danger from accidents, also from cuts, wounds, fires, explosions, firearms and surgical operations. CHAPTER XL APRIL 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ You will be liable to have injuries to the eyes and upper portions of the face and head. You will love an outdoor life, and all forms of sport. You will be fond of animals, but run considerable danger from them. You will not easily subject yourself to other persons and would do best in some career where you could be your own master. Yon will have strong personal magnetism, be a general favourite with your opposite sex and have more than the average romances and love affairs. In spite of these tendencies, marriage would be favourable if you are lucky enough to meet with a partner who is ready to forgive your faults for your heroic qualities. At times you may give way to intemperance, but more because of your love of social intercourse than from the love of drink. FINANCE You will have great ability in making money in all forms of industry, business organisation or in the employment of others. You will always see a way out of any difficulty and be self-reliant and determined in whatever course of action you may decide to follow. You will be fearless and courageous, but perhaps too headstrong for your own good. You will be a speculator on a large scale in all you undertake. You will treat life more as a game than from a serious standpoint. As a general rule, luck will favour you during the greater part of your life. HEALTH You will be endowed with a splendid constitution and great vitality. You would recover quickly from any illness. Your greatest danger will come from accidents of all kinds, especially those caused by firearms, fires, explosions, street or road dangers. CHAPTER XL APRIL 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ You will also have a liability for high blood pressure, heart disease and apoplexy. Your most important numbers and dates will be the “nine” and the “one,” and all their series, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 9ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear, in some part of your clothing, the colours of Mars and the Sun, which are: Mars: All shades of red, crimson or rose. The Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange, bronze, or golden brown, but if born on April 27ᵗʰ you could add to these the Venus colours, all shades of blue from the darkest to the lightest. Your “lucky” jewels are the ruby, garnet, red stones, diamonds, topaz, and amber. If born on the 27ᵗʰ you can also use the turquoise and all blue stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, and 72ⁿᵈ. You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a one or nine in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XL APRIL 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ I met the famous Mary Pickford during my visit to Hollywood. I had been invited by Douglas Fairbanks to visit the studios of “United Artists" in which he, together with Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin, hold a large interest. While talking with Douglas in his office, Mary rushed in from a scene she was making with Buddy Refers. Holding out both hands she said: “I need no introduction to 'Cheiro'." His 'Language of the Hand' has been my companion for many long years. The illustration of the Line of Success marked for a certain date encouraged me through my early years of hard struggles on the stage. Exactly at the date indicated in my life motion pictures started. My success came and since then I have never looked back." A few days later she had me to dinner in the beautiful home she and Douglas Fairbanks had built in Beverly Hills, when she wrote the following words in my autograph book: “I have waited long to meet the great 'Cheiro' and I can’t tell how wonderful this evening has been for me. Mary Pickford. Hollywood, California." MAY MAY May 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ May 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ May 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ May 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ May 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ May 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ May 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ May 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ May 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” PSALMS: CHAPTER XC, v. 12 CHAPTER XLI MAY “It is the Stars. The Stars above us govern our conditions.” _(Shakespeare) King Lear, ACT IV The zodiacal influence for the month of May in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year. The Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, which governs the month of May, commences on April 19ᵗʰ, but for seven days being overlapped by the “cusp” of the previous Sign, it does not come into its full power until April 26ᵗʰ. From this date onward it is in full force until May 20ᵗʰ. It is then for seven days, gradually losing its strength on account of becoming overlapped by the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Gemini, whose ruler is Mercury (Positive). Persons born in this part of the year come under the symbol of Taurus, the Bull, which is also called the House of Venus, (Positive). This is one of the Fixed Signs of the Zodiac, the First Triplicity of Earth. It bestows, as its name implies, fixed strong characteristics, great tenacity of purpose and obstinate determination. Persons born under its rule, after the 21ˢᵗ of May, lose a good deal of these headstrong qualities on account of their coming under the “cusp” of the approaching Sign of Gemini—the First Triplicity of Air. The earlier dates in May are consequently more positive in character than the latter ones. In some points of disposition this is one of the most contradictory of all the Signs of the Zodiac. Persons born in this part of the year, namely from April 19ᵗʰ to May 20ᵗʰ,and in the “cusp” to May 27ᵗʰ, have the characteristics of Taurus, the Bull, and are more or less plodding and patient, except when roused by anger or injustice. CHAPTER XLI MAY They are unyielding in their determination and are often called “bull-headed” and obstinate. If, however, love enters their life, they become the most easily influenced of all types, but only by that person who has aroused the affectionate side of their nature. They are noted for their power of endurance, both physically and mentally, and can stand any strain as long as their determination lasts. They are extremely social and are never happier than when entertaining their friends, or those they love. They make splendid hosts or hostesses; they have great taste about food, and in an emergency make excellent cooks. They are artistic in their homes, wonderful in their arrangement of furniture and making things appear well. They have a strong sense of dramatic appearance, they dress and “look the part” and can fill to perfection any role on life’s stage they may be called on to play. As a rule they are often considered richer than they really are, and are more or less showy in everything they do. They are governed largely by their emotions and sensations, but affection has a greater hold on them than passion. The men of this type usually have broad shoulders, thick necks and large foreheads. The women have large breasts and, as a rule, small hands and feet. If either sex, love, they are generous in giving to the last degree. They consider no sacrifice too great for the person they care for, but if they hate, they will fight with bull-headed obstinacy to the death. CHAPTER XLI MAY As a rule they fight honourably and openly, for this reason they often get the worst of it at the commencement, but if their blood is once aroused, they do not know what surrender means. They are peculiarly sensitive to their surroundings and often become morbid or melancholy when forced to live under poor or unfavourable conditions. Neither the men or the women in this Sign should marry early; their first love affair or marriage is generally a mistake, but as a rule they develop early and marry early. Both sexes are inclined to be jealous in their affections and their jealousy drives them into unreasoning acts or violent fits of temper which they bitterly regret when the passion is over. They forgive at the slightest show of feeling or kindness and this side of their nature makes them do all kinds of things that the world calls stupid. As leaders in any cause they inspire love and devotion and often have great responsibility forced upon them. They have an innate sense of harmony, rhythm and colour and often succeed well in music, poetry and art, but curiously enough they usually lack the “money ..e" to make the most of their qualities or talents, except those born on certain dates which will be explained later. Those born in this Sign make the most faithful loyal friends, also excellent public servants, officials or heads in government positions, or in the Army or Navy. They also make good patient nurses, healers and almost all have a keen love of gardening, flowers and outdoor life. CHAPTER XLI MAY FINANCE As a general rule this is a favourable part of the year to be born in as far as the getting of money is concerned. This Zodiacal period of the year promises gain through cooperation, partnerships, associations as well as through marriage. The Venus influence of this part of the year, however, tends towards the generous love nature to be imposed on and some cruel experiences in helping others may be expected. A strong desire to get money and possess wealth is one of the underlying qualities of persons born in this part of the year, but this desire is actuated not so much from selfish reasons, but in order to be in a position to live well and help those they love. The women born in this part of the year generally “marry well” as far as money is concerned, but there is usually more than one marriage in the run of their lives. Women in this Sign often exhibit considerable business ability and power of organisation, and yet with it all, never losing sight of the artistic which is one of the basic characteristics of their nature. For both sexes everything to do with the opening up, exploiting and developing of lands, mines and minerals, appears to be especially in their favour. Building schemes, even the management of properties, such as hotels, restaurants and such like enterprises are also good and bring them success. CHAPTER XLI MAY HEALTH The planet Venus, ruling this question for those born in this part of the year, gives an abundance of vitality, which should be guided into the proper channels and given out for the benefit of others, otherwise it is inclined to consume itself and develop morbid conditions. The chief danger to health in such cases, comes through inertia and self-indulgence. Some liability to dropsy may be likely towards the end of life, therefore great discretion in diet is advisable. The kidneys, throat and generative system will be liable to disorders when health fails. Such persons should use temperance in all things and avoid indulgence in wines, strong drinks and over-rich foods. Persons born in this Sign of the Zodiac have a tendency to suffer with all things that affect the nasal cavities and upper part of the lungs. They are inclined to have inflammation of the throat, tonsillitis, diphtheria, polypus in the nose and nasal catarrh. Under the strain of over-work, the heart is more or less affected; they have fainting spells for no apparent reason and often a tendency for “blood to the head” or apoplexy. Their flesh is easily bruised and they are liable to tumours and internal growths, especially if forced to live in damp places or wet climates. MARRIAGES, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIPS ETC. They will find their most harmonious relationships with persons born in their own Sign (Taurus) April 19ᵗʰ to May 20ᵗʰ, First House of Earth. August 21ˢᵗ to September 20ᵗʰ (Virgo), Second House of Earth. December 21ˢᵗ to January 20ᵗʰ (Capricorn), Third House of Earth, and in the seven days of the “cusp” at the beginning or ending of each of these periods. Also persons born in the month of the year the opposite to their own, in this case from October 21ˢᵗ to November 20ᵗʰ - 27ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XLII MAY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ Persons born on May 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ. Number 1 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates« following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus and the Sun in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth. As the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ, by natural addition produce for the single number the “one” or symbol of the Sun, the First Cause or Creative Force, if you were born on any of these dates you come under a very powerful combination which, if understood and used, should bring you a considerable measure of success. The 28ᵗʰ of May, being the commencement of the incoming Sign of Gemini, ruled by Mercury (Positive) will make your mentality even keener than if born on the other dates in May. The basic foundation for your character and disposition is that described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your special case the stronger qualities will more dominate your life and career. You will have a considerable amount of selfreliance and be creative and original in all your plans. You will be very patient and gentle, unless prodded to anger by jealousy or underhanded work, but you will be, at times, liable to sudden outbursts of temper and passion if opposed in your plans and ambitions. You will have large vision about whatever work you may be engaged in, but it will not be an easy matter for you to stand interference of any kind, petty annoyances or criticism. CHAPTER XLII MAY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ You would meet with success in any career that would bring you before the public, also in offices or in executive work of any kind such as the head of hospitals, institutions and large enterprises. FINANCE You will be lucky in money matters but inclined to indulge in luxury and an extravagant style of living. You will be prone to take great risks in speculation or in attempting to do business on too large a scale, but speaking generally, you may expect to be successful HEALTH As regards health, you will possess a good constitution, backed up by great vitality, which you will at times undermine by expending too much energy in carrying out your plans and not taking enough systematic rest and sleep. The chief delicacy you may have at periods to contend against will be neglected colds settling on the lungs and chest, but fresh air and sun baths would keep you protected against such ailments. If born on May 28ᵗʰ, the nervous system will be inclined to be over-strung and too active. Your most important numbers and dates for carrying out your ambitions are the 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate, you should wear the colours relating to your planets as much as possible, such as the Sun: All shades of gold, orange or bronze to golden brown. Moon: All shades of green, white and cream. Venus: All shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest. CHAPTER XLII MAY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ If born on May 28ᵗʰ you can employ the colours of Mercury, all light shimmering materials. Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds, topaz, amber, moonstones, jade and turquoise, and for May 28ᵗʰ all bright glistening stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ 24ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 37ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 46ᵗʰ, 47ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 55ᵗʰ, 56ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 65ᵗʰ and 69ᵗʰ. You will find yourself attracted to persons born on any of the series of the “one,” “two,” or “six” in any month, and if born on May 28ᵗʰ, also to persons born under the number five series, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14th or 23ʳᵈ. * James Gordon Bennett, son of the founder of the New York Herald, called to see me one evening in my house in Paris during the Summer of 1900. He was the man who had sent Henry M. Stanley on a mission to find Livingston in Central Africa. James Gordon Bennett was a remarkable personality, very much misunderstood by the majority of people. Under the cover of a rather brusque defiant manner, he was at heart a most generous minded man, who did a lot of good in his own peculiar way. CHAPTER XLII MAY 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ ** “As I have related in my Memoirs “the great Melba,” as I must always term her, came as an unknown person to see me in my rooms in London in November, 1888. She did not open her lips until I had finished an examination of her hands. She then gave me the satisfaction of saying that I had told her all the important details of her past life, and she added “every date you have given me has been exact.” Some years later, in New York, she again came to consult me and before leaving, wrote in my visitor’s book: “‘Cheiro’ you are wonderful. What more can I say?” In her characteristic writing, she signed: “Nellie Melba, New York, 1894.” CHAPTER XLIII MAY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Persons born on May 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ. Number 2 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Moon, Neptune and Venus (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, the Bull, First House of the Triplicity of Earth; but if born on May 29ᵗʰ you come under the Sign of Gemini, First House of the Triplicity of Air, whose ruler is the planet Mercury (Positive). The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your case the gentler qualities will make themselves more manifest. The Moon will have a special influence on you, as in this period of the year it is in “the House of its Exaltation.” You will be imaginative, romantic, artistic, with a decided leaning towards idealism, mystical studies, occultism and spiritualism; such things will attract you and are likely to influence your life considerably. Your talents will incline to express themselves in literature, art, music and the theatre. You will endeavour to fill your home with beautiful things, inharmonious surroundings will grate on your sensitive nature. You will have many changes in places of residence, be rather restless and with a great desire for travel, but as you are born in a Zodiacal Fixed Sign, and it being the First House of the Triplicity of Earth, you may find considerable difficulty in gratifying your love of travel and change, but not so much as if born on May 20ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XLIII MAY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ Your sympathies will be easily aroused for the sufferings of others, and many demands are likely to be made on your time which will detract from your power of application. You will have a naturally affable disposition, very attractive to strangers and very adaptable to new surroundings. You will make numerous friends, almost too many for your own good, but as a general rule you will be lucky, especially in your relations with your opposite sex. You will have remarkable intuitions and possibly very accurate dreams. All things relating to the earth and its products will be favourable to you, but you will have to guard against a desire for too much pleasure, entertaining and love of the good things of life. Financial conditions will be very contradictory to one born in this part of the Zodiac. You will have “runs of luck” to be followed by equal periods of reverses when nothing will appear to go right. You should avoid speculation and gambles of all kinds and hold your inclination for extravagance well in check. You would make money in any career that would bring you before the public. HEALTH In health you will have to be particularly careful of chills internally, influenza and colds lying too long on the bronchial tubes, lungs and throat. The nasal passages are likely from middle life to become affected, and unless care is taken, you will at times suffer from growths in the nose, also with sinus trouble, mastoids and some defect in the hearing. Your most important numbers are “twos,” “sevens” and “sixes,” and all their series, and you should endeavour to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ. CHAPTER XLIII MAY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ If born on May 29ᵗʰ, the series of the “number five” will be equally important, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear in your clothing, at least some part of it, the colours belonging to your principal planets, which are: The Moon: All shades of greens, whites and creams. Venus: All shades of blues. Neptune: All shades of dove-greys, and electric shades. If born on May 29ᵗʰ you can add to these the Mercury colours—all glistening shimmering materials. Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, emeralds, moonstones, cat's-eyes, pearls, turquoise, all blue stones, and if born on May 29ᵗʰ, all glistening stones. Your most important or climacteric years are the 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 38ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ, 69ᵗʰ. You will be much attracted to persons born in the series of “ones,” “twos,”“sixes” and “sevens,” such as the 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, and 29ᵗʰ in any month of the year, and if born on May 29ᵗʰ also the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. CHAPTER XLIII MAY 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ CHAPTER XLIV MAY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Persons born on May 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ. Number 3 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Jupiter with Venus (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus the Bull, First House of the Triplicity of Earth. If born on May 30ᵗʰ, you come under the influence of Gemini ruled by Mercury (Positive), First House of the Triplicity of Air. This is a very good combination and should make you very successful in life provided you do not allow the Venus or love side of your nature to become too strong. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your special case you should give full scope to the ambitious side of your nature and always endeavour to associate with persons above you in social or business life. You will rebel against injustice in any form and will find yourself inclined to take the part of the “under-dog” in any fight or cause to which your sympathies may attract you. You will have very strong independent views about religion and will be inclined to make a philosophy of your own. You will be positive and determined in all your ideas and rather obstinate in the carrying out of your plans. You will be inclined to marry early, but from the combinations of planets under which you were born, the chances are that you will marry three times, the third being the best. Some of the love affairs in your life are likely to be quite out of the ordinary. CHAPTER XLIV MAY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ Your nature will be intensely artistic in every sense of the word. You could excel in painting, music, literature and many forms of public life, but you will be so versatile that you will find it difficult to make up your mind on the form of work you should select. You will have a very intense sense of justice and will often find yourself in opposition to others on this question. You will have a deep love of home and your native land, and will always endeavour to foster national projects of benefit to your country. You will aid philanthropic and charitable organisations, and will give your time freely in working for their interests. You will receive honours from societies and in connection with your work, and become a highly respected member in whatever community you may belong. FINANCE In matters of finance you need have nothing to fear. Great opportunities will come across your path. Out of nothing you could create much, your only danger being that of undermining your resources by going in for large schemes of a speculative nature. HEALTH Once past the earlier years, this period of the Zodiac in which you were born will endow you with good health and vitality. Overwork and constant demands for your services will be the only enemy you need fear as far as health is concerned. Your motto will be “wear out but not rust out.” On account of this you will not be likely to reach any great age. CHAPTER XLIV MAY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ You will have a tendency to some delicacy of the lungs and throat, but this you may grow out of if you pass through middle life. Your most important numbers and dates are the “threes” and “sixes,” such as the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ. If born on May 30ᵗʰ, the series of the “fives” will be also important, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. You should endeavour to carry out your plans on dates making these numbers. To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours, (at least in some part of your clothing) of: Jupiter: All shades of violet, mauve or violetpurple. Venus: All shades of blue. If born on May 30ᵗʰ, you can add the colours of Mercury, which are white, creams and all light shades. Your “lucky" jewels are the amethyst and all violet or purple stones and the turquoise. If born on May 30ᵗʰ, diamonds and all glistening stones. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 39ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 48ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 57ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 66ᵗʰ and 69ᵗʰ. You will find yourself attracted to persons born on the 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ in any month of the year. If born on May 30ᵗʰ, you can add to these, the series of the “number five,” such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. CHAPTER XLIV MAY 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21 ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ * I had the honour of meeting Her Highness Princess Helene Victoria, cousin of the late King George V, several times in London. During His Majesty’s serious illness in February, 1929, she was deeply interested in my prediction that the Royal patient would recover and live for many years. ** Sir Arthur Sullivan, the famous composer of the Gilbert and Sullivan's Operas, called on me in London and gave me impressions of his hands. *** I met Irving Thalberg in Hollywood. His rise in the motion picture world has been phenomenal. He was the youngest motion picture executive in the film world, and now is the principal man in the great Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. CHAPTER XLV MAY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ Persons born on May 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ. Number 4 people in this month. If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Uranus, the Sun and Venus, in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth; but if born on May 31ˢᵗ you come under the Sign of Gemini ruled by Mercury (Positive). This is a peculiar combination which promises a life very distinctive and unusual. This basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your special case it is the unusual and unexpected that is inclined to happen and you are likely to take up some path in life out of the ordinary. These combinations are extremely favourable for philosophers, writers, composers, etc. From a purely worldly standpoint you may not be what is called lucky, and in financial affairs you will be likely to have many changes, but always of a sudden or unexpected kind. You will not easily fit in with other peoples’ views and in a general way you will arouse opposition to your work and ideas. You will, however, be best in surmounting obstacles and rising to the call of emergencies. Being of an original turn of mind, new ideas and methods will appeal to you, also inventions or novel out-of-the-way things. Marriage will be equally out of the ordinary, more on the lines of an experiment or for some underlying purpose. CHAPTER XLV MAY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ You will be strong-willed in your views and opinions, inclined to analyse and be critical in your conclusions. You will not be very adaptable to people or conditions. You will keep much to yourself and care for very few companions, but for those you do like you will care very deeply. Yon will have the ability to make a very unusual artist, writer or inventor, but anything you do will be more or less coloured by your own pronounced individuality. FINANCE In money matters you will come under peculiar conditions. Again the unexpected more than the expected is likely to happen. Original ideas and plans will be born in your mind not inclined to fit in with other people’s views. You will make money by unusual methods; you could become an inventor or an unconventional writer, painter or musician. Ordinary business routine will not attract you and you are likely to find it extremely difficult to work with others. HEALTH Health for you will be under strange conditions; illnesses will be sudden and unexpected. You will suffer at times from ailments difficult to diagnose, such as sudden pains and cramps in the stomach and lesions in the internal organs. You will be subject to chills and colds without warning, influenza and inflammation of the lungs. You should eat lightly but often, and study foods that seem to suit you personally, and not follow conventional diets. You will find the numbers of “fours,” “sixes” and “eights” drawn toward you and playing an important role in all your affairs. These series are 4, 6, 8, 13, 15, 17, 22, 24, 26, and 31, or any numbers that total up to the root of the 4, 6 and 8. CHAPTER XLV MAY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours of the Sun, Uranus and Venus, or use them in some part of your clothing. If born on May 31ˢᵗ, you can add to these the colours of Mercury, which are white, creams and all light glistening materials. Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange, bronze to golden brown. Uranus: All shades of grey and electric shades, also sapphire blues. Venus: All shades of blue. Your “lucky” jewels are topaz, amber, diamonds, sapphires and lapis lazuli. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 24ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 40ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 49ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 58ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ and 69ᵗʰ. You will find yourself much attracted to persons born on the 4ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 24ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ of any month; those representing the “eight series, if born on May 31ˢᵗ, also those born in the series of the “number five,” such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ. CHAPTER XLV MAY 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ * Dr. Ralph S. Willard, the celebrated young scientist who startled the world by his experiments in freezing monkeys to death and bringing them back to life in periods of from ten to fifteen days, was deeply interested in my work while I was living in California. He recently has perfected a “mechanical heart” which will undoubtedly be of great interest to the Medical Profession. ** Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous author of “Sherlock Holmes,” and towards the last years of his life a devout spiritualist, was extremely interested in my work and ordered my books placed in a prominent position in the window of his Psychic Book Shop opposite Westminster Abbey. *** Catulle Mendes, a famous French poet and author, was a brilliant but very eccentric man. He lived an unconventional life which brought him much adverse criticism. He often came to consult me when I lived in Paris. CHAPTER XLVI MAY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Persons born on May 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ. Number 5 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates, by the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mercury with Venus (Positive), in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth. The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your special case this is a good combination as far as mentality is concerned. It gives an unusual keenness, originality and alertness of mind. You will possess good reasoning powers, but critical, analytical and observant. You will be very independent in spirit, but extremely adaptable to persons and conditions, without allowing them to influence you in any way. You will have great versatility in work and could succeed in almost any line, provided you were sufficiently interested to make the effort. You will not easily be tied down to any one thing or to any one person, and in consequence may expect to have many changes in your life and career. You will be much influenced by your opposite sex and yet strangely independent of them. You will have many love affairs, but will be rather changeable in your affections. You will be likely to marry early, but any marriage in your early life will not be disposed to last for very long, and would be likely to cause you disappointment and interference with your career. Exceptionally fine brain power is the keynote of persons born under this combination. CHAPTER XLVI MAY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ FINANCE In questions of finance you will be a puzzle to your friends as well as to yourself. You will employ money you make in odd and unusual ways. As a general rule you will be lucky in making money and in the accumulation of possessions, especially in connection with land, houses or speculations, if you made up your mind to go in for such things. You will be likely to gain prominence and position in the world by following a career out of the ordinary. HEALTH In health you will be inclined to suffer from nervous ailments. You are also likely to have many experiences of the surgeon’s knife. The head and face will be liable to meet with injury, also the teeth, jaws and bones of the skull. The sex organs will be delicate and have a tendency to suffer from inflammation and chills. The above remarks regarding health will not apply so much to persons born on May 23ʳᵈ as they do to those born on May 5ᵗʰ and 14ᵗʰ. Your most important numbers and dates will be “fives” and “sixes" and all their series, such as the 5ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ and 24ᵗʰ. To increase your magnetism, you should wear, at least in some part of your clothing, the colours of Mercury, Venus and the Moon, which are: Mercury: All shades of light colours, and glistening materials. Venus: All shades of blue from the lightest to the darkest. Moon: All shades of green, creams and white. CHAPTER XLVI MAY 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ Your “lucky” jewels are the diamond, turquoise, emeralds, green jade and all glistening bright stones. The most important or climacteric years of your life are more especially the 5ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 24ᵗʰ, 32ⁿᵈ, 33ʳᵈ, 41ˢᵗ, 42ⁿᵈ, 50ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 59ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 68ᵗʰ, 69ᵗʰ, 77ᵗʰ. You will be much attracted to persons born on the 5ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ and 24ᵗʰ of any month of the year. * The famous author, Hall Caine, was one of my good friends in London. He wrote "The Manxman" and a large number of books. ** "I met Douglas Fairbanks on many occasions in Hollywood. He had not taken much interest in occultism until he had me explain such things to him one evening after dinner in his house. He wrote in my Autograph Book: “Many thanks for the most absorbing few hours of my initiation into things mystic.— (Signed ) Douglas Fairbanks.” CHAPTER XLVII MAY 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ Persons born on May 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ. Number 6 people in this month. If you were born on any of the above dates in May, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus and the Moon in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, House of Venus, (Positive), First House of the Triplicity of Earth.
